Preparation

Step 1

For filling, in small saucepan, combine flour and milk until smooth; stir in 1/3 cup sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.

Transfer to large bowl; cool. Beat in shortening, butter, vanilla, salt and remaining sugar until smooth. Spread between cake layers.

For glaze, melt butter and cocoa in small saucepan. Whisk in confectioners' sugar and enough milk to achieve a drizzling consistency. Drizzle over top of cake, allowing some to drape down sides.
