Recipe Introduction


"Vanilla or French vanilla pudding can also be used for the filling if you can’t find white chocolate pudding."



List of Ingredients




Cake Ingredients:

1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup milk
1/3 cup LAND O LAKES® Butter, softened*
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Filling Ingredients:

1 (3.3-ounce) package instant white chocolate flavored pudding and pie filling mix
1 1/2 cups milk

Glaze Ingredients:

1/4 cup whipping cream
3 (1-ounce) squares semi-sweet baking chocolate


Recipe



Heat oven to 350°F. Combine all cake ingredients in large bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until well mixed.

Pour batter into greased and floured 9-inch round cake pan. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Let stand 10 minutes; remove from pan. Cool completely (about 1 hour).

Meanwhile, combine pudding mix and 1 1/2 cups milk in medium bowl with wire whisk until thickened. Refrigerate until ready to assemble pie.

To assemble, split cake horizontally in half. Place bottom layer on serving platter; spread pudding over top. Place top cake layer over pudding. Refrigerate 1 hour.

Place whipping cream in 1-quart saucepan. Cook over medium heat just until cream begins to boil (1 to 2 minutes). Add chocolate; remove from heat. Stir glaze with wire whisk until smooth. Spread glaze over top of cake just before serving. Store refrigerated.

TIP: If you’re not familiar with this East Coast dessert, you might think you were getting a cream pie. Actually, this sweet treat, is layered sponge cake with custard filling and then topped with a chocolate glaze. We gave it a slightly updated flavor and made the cake chocolate and used pudding to simplify the custard filling. Whether traditional or updated, it’s a favorite.
