Description
This is my most requested cake recipe. Takes a little time to make but it is so worth it!
Ingredients
- 1 box Chocolate Cake Mix
- 1-¼ cup Milk
- 5 Tablespoons Flour
- 2 sticks Butter
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1 cup Crisco
- ⅓ cups Cocoa
- 3 cups Powdered Sugar
- 1 whole Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla
Preparation
Bake your favorite chocolate cake on a sheet or jelly roll pan. Cool.
In saucepan put 1 1/4 cups milk and 5 Tablespoons flour. Whisk until thick stirring constantly. When thick, take off heat and let cool.
In mixing bowl add 1 stick of butter, 1 cup sugar and 1 cup Crisco. Beat until smooth.
Then add the cooled flour mixture to the creamed mixture. Beat until smooth.
Ice the cake. Refrigerate until icing is stiff (at least 1 hour).
For the frosting:
In a mixing bowl add 1/3 cup cocoa
3 cups powdered sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
Beat all together. Add up to 3 tablespoons hot water while you’re mixing frosting. It may not need all 3. You want it to be a thin frosting on cake. Spread on. Let it set up. Keep refrigerated.
Enjoy!

This is one of my signature cakes, too. It’s totally fabulous and really does taste like a big Ho-Ho. To ease the worries of anyone paranoid about the raw egg in the frosting, I pop the frosting in the microwave for a minute or two, stirring after every 30 seconds. I then beat it until it’s cooled enough for spreading, though it should still be rather thin, like the recipe says. It will set up.
