By Bujvary

Ingredients

• FILLING:
• 2 prepared 9-inch round chocolate cakes
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 cup milk
• 2/3 cup sugar, divided
• 2/3 cup shortening
• 1/3 cup butter, softened
• 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch salt
• GLAZE:
• 1/4 cup butter, cubed
• 1/4 cup baking cocoa
• 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
• 2 to 4 tablespoons milk

Preparation

Step 1

In a small saucepan, combine flour and milk until smooth; stir in 1/4 cup sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.
Transfer to a large bowl; cool. Beat in the shortening, butter, vanilla, salt and remaining sugar until smooth. Spread between cake layers.
For glaze, melt butter and cocoa in a small saucepan. Whisk in confectioners' sugar and enough milk to achieve a drizzling consistency. Drizzle over top of cake, allowing some to drape down the sides.
