Twinkie Cake

No picture this time either.  But imagine with me a yellow cake with a white icing.  There you go!    Only this tastes like a Twinkie!


1 yellow cake mix (prepared as directed in a 9x 13)
If doing a two layer cake, line pans with wax paper for easy removal

Filling:
5 T flour
1 C milk
1 C sugar
1/2 t salt
1 stick margarine
1/2 c crisco
1 t vanilla

Mix flour and milk together.  cook in microwave stirring every 30 seconds until thick like paste.  Cool well.  Beat sugar, salt, margarine, crisco and vanilla until fluffy.  Add cooked mixture and beat until fluffy.

You can either just put the frosting/filling on top of the cake, or you can make it look authentic and use two layers and make a filling.  If you make a 9x13 cake, let cool.Cut into two layers (dental floss works well for this).  Return bottom half to pan.  Cover with filling and then place other half of cake on top. 

Best if you can let it set in the fridge for 2 hours, or overnight.
