For the cake:
1 chocolate cake mix (we used chocolate fudge)
Preheat oven to 350ยบ. Prepare cake according to package directions. Pour batter into a jelly roll pan and bake for about 20 to 25 minutes until tested done. Cool cake completely.
For the first icing:
1 ¼ cups of milk
5 tablespoons flour
1 cup sugar
½ cup shortening
½ cup butter or margarine (1 stick)
1 teaspoon vanilla
Pour the milk into a small pot. Whisk in the flour. Cook until mixture thickens, stirring occasionally with whisk. Cool. Transfer the flour mixture to a mixing bowl. Add the sugar, shortening, butter and vanilla. Beat until fluffy and no sugar crystals remain (about 8 minutes). Ice cooled cake. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
For the second icing:
3 ounces baking chocolate (3 squares)
½ stick butter or margarine (1 stick)
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups confectioners’ sugar
2 ½ tablespoons hot water
Over low heat, melt the chocolate and butter. Add remaining ingredients. Whisk until the ingredients are thoroughly combined and icing is smooth. Remove from heat. Spread icing over cake. (This is a flat cake; no need to roll.)
