BUTTERCREAM FILLING FOR A "HOHO CAKE"
This recipe makes enough for a 3-layer cake or 2 2-layer cakes. Can be halved for one 2-layer cake. Really good if you melt chocolate chips and butter and drizzle over the top of the cake to make a HOHO cake.

Steps:
- 1. Bake your favorite chocolate cake according to recipe or directions for a mix. (I use Duncan Hines Dark Chocolate Fudge.)
- 2. Gradually whisk milk and cornstarch together in small saucepan until smooth. Cook over med/low heat whisking constantly until mixture thickens and boils. Place saucepan in large bowl of ice water, stirring occasionally, until mixture cools.
- 3. Beat butter and shortening until creamy. Beat in sugar until light and fluffy. Add cooled cornstarch mixture and vanilla and beat until creamy.
- 4. Spread filling between layers of chocolate cake and refrigerate 30 minutes to set the filling. Frost as desired (I make a chocolate ganache.)
