How to cook deliciously - Ho Ho Cake

1. Stage

In a small saucepan, combine the flour and milk until the mixture is smooth, then stir in 1/3 cup sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until the mixture thickens. Editor's Tip: Make sure the sugar completely dissolves so the filling isn't grainy.

2. Stage

Transfer the filling to a large bowl and let it cool completely. Beat in the shortening, butter, vanilla, salt and remaining sugar until the blend is smooth. Spread the filling on only the top of one chocolate cake and place the other round cake atop the filling. Editor's Tip: Place the filling in the refrigerator to firm up a bit if it seems too liquidy to spread atop the cake.

3. Stage

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