First, preheat your oven and get your cake batter ready as per the instructions on the box. Grease and lightly flour two 9-inch round pans. Bake the cake as instructed on the box, until it passes the toothpick test with flying colors. Once done, allow the cakes to cool. Invert them on a wire rack to cool some more.
While the cakes are cooling off, let’s prepare the Vanilla-Cool Whip filling. Beat a cup of milk with the vanilla pudding mix for about 2 minutes. Next, gently fold in the Cool Whip. Let it stand for about 5 minutes.
Time to assemble! Place one cake on your serving plate and generously spread the filling on top. Crown it with the second cake.
Now, for the grand finale – the Chocolate Glaze! In a microwave-safe bowl, nuke the chocolate and butter on high for about a minute. Stir it well until the chocolate melts into the butter. Next, add the powdered sugar and 4 tablespoons of milk. Stir until it’s luxuriously smooth.
Pour this glaze over the cake, allowing it to cascade down the sides. Now, the hardest part – refrigerate for at least one hour before you can dig in (I promise, it’s worth the wait!).
There you have it, a deliciously decadent treat to sweeten your day. Enjoy, and don’t forget to share your cake creations with me
