Ingredients:
1 box (15.25 oz.) chocolate cake mix
Ingredients called for on cake mix
FILLING:
5 Tbsp. flour
1 c. half-and-half
1 tsp. vanilla
1 c. butter
1 c. granulated sugar
FROSTING:
1 c. semisweet chocolate chips
1/4 c. butter, softened
3/4 c. heavy whipping cream
2 c. powdered sugar
Directions:
Make cake according to package directions. Let cake cool completely.
In a medium saucepan, whisk flour into half-and-half over medium heat on stove top. Whisk constantly until very thick, similar to the consistency of thick pudding or custard- it will take a few minutes. Cool completely (place in refrigerator if you want to speed the cooling process). Stir in vanilla. In a mixing bowl, mix 1 c. softened butter and granulated sugar until fluffy. Add cooled flour/ milk mixture to butter/ sugar mixture and beat until light and fluffy (will take a couple minutes). Spread on cooled cake.
Dump chocolate chips in bowl. Heat heavy cream and pour hot cream over chocolate. Let sit for a minute; stir gently to melt. Cream butter and powdered sugar in another bowl and then stir the 2 mixtures together. If you want it to be thicker, add more powdered sugar. If you want it to be thinner, add more whipping cream. Spread on cake immediately because the frosting starts to set up and become grainy in appearance if you let it sit for long.
