Boston Cream Pie Cake

This has become one of my hubby's favorite desserts.  I love it because it is soooo easy to do!  i know my picture isn't all pretty.....but I promise, it is super tasty!

1 pgk. yellow cake mix

the ingredients to make the cake as instructed on box

1 1/2 c. cold milk

1 pkg. vanilla instant pudding

2 squares unsweetened chocolate

2 tbsp. butter

1 c. powdered sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

2-3 tbs. hot water

Prepare the cake as instructed on the box using 2 greased and floured 9-in pans (don't skip the flouring part!)  Cool for 10-min. before removing from the pans to a wire cooling rack (be patient and wait....I would recommend waiting longer so your cake doesn't fall apart)

In a small bowl, whisk milk and pudding mix for 2 minutes.  Let stand for 2 minutes or until soft set.  Cover and refrigerate.

In a microwave, melt chocolate and butter.  Stir until smooth.  Stir in powdered sugar, vanilla, and a little water until it is the consistency of a thick glaze.  Set aside.

Place one cake layer on a serving plate, spread with pudding.  Top with the second layer of cake.  Spread chocolate glaze over the top, letting it drip down the sides of the cake.  Refrigerate until ready to serve, and ENJOY!!

Oreo Pudding Cake

Do  you need a quick, easy, and fabulous dessert for dinner, an activity, a bbq, or whatever?  I have your solution =)  I have made this several times and each time the pan has pretty much been licked clean....not saying who did the licking....=P   I got the original recipe from The Country Cook.

Ingredients:
1 box chocolate cake (you can use devil's food, regular chocolate, fudgy chocolate, whatever kind you want)
ingredients to make cake as directed on box (usually about 3 eggs, oil, and water)
2 pkgs. Jello Oreo Pudding
4 cups milk
1 pkg. Oreos (or the store brand works just as well)

Directions:
Bake cake as directed on the box. (or if you have a totally awesome bake fros cratch chocoalte cake, you can use that as well)
While cake is cooking, crush up oreos (i crumbled some and added to the cake mix as well)/  When the cake has a few minutes left, mix the pudding and milk.  Mix for about 2 minutes, or until begins to thicken.  Set aside.
When the cake is finished (an inserted toothpick comes out clean), poke holes in it about 2 inches apart.  I used  handle of my wooden rolling pin.  You want the holes to be around dime sized, or a little smaller.  Then pour the pudding over the cake, make sure to get in all the holes. Sprinkle the crushed oreos over top.

Then let the cake set for a few minutes on the counter and the put it in the fridge for at least an hour before serving.

Then serve it and sit back let the compliments roll in.  Everyone will think you slaved for hours to create it.  It is super good!!!

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Swirl Cake

One of my friends found this recipe and wanted me to make it for her.  so being the wonderfully nice friend that I am, I did =) Boy, oh boy am I glad I did.  It reminded me of pumpkin pie, but with a totally different texture.  It wasn't a pumpkin cake because it was  way more moist than the usual cake.  T

Pumpkin Cake
2 cups flour
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. cloves
4 eggs
1 (15 oz.) can of pumpkin
1 cup vegetable oil

Cream Cheese Swirl:
4 oz. cream cheese (you can use fat-free, but with all the oil and eggs in the cake, you might as well go all the way)
1/4 cup white granulated sugar
1 egg1 1/2 tsp. vanilla1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice


1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips


 Mix all the dry ingredients together. 

Add in pumpkin and oil.  Mix in eggs, 1 at a time.  Mix until everything is well blended.

  Grease and flour a 9x13 cake pan.  Pour batter into the pan.  It will be slightly thick.

In a separate bowl, blend cream cheese, sugar, egg, vanilla and spice together.  Drizzle over the cake mixture.  Marble mixture together with a knife.   

Sprinkle chocolate chips over the top.   

(I didn't use the full 1/2 cup of chocolate chips)

Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. 

Cool then cut into bars.


 I think I may have found a new fall favorite cake =) I can't wait to make this again and put it to the true test- my husband's coworkers =)  You definitely need to make this cake....like tonight!!  I promise, you won't be sorry (unless you're one of those weird people who don't like pumpkin pie.....then maybe make it anyway, have a taste, and let everyone else enjoy =)  )
