CHOCOLATE ECLAIR CAKE!


The name alone will make people think that you had to pull out all your skills to make this cake!!! All you need to do is keep it a secret about how easy it is!!! This is the type of cake you make when you need something fast and want to make a good impression. I wish I could take full credit for this recipe, but this delicious recipe comes from my moms bestie! She held out for years on this recipe and I finally have it!!!! Thank you Annette, and everybody else thanks you when they try this cake! I make my own whip cream but if you don’t want to just substitute the homemade whip for some cool whip. I like the homemade whip over cool whip, to me cool whip has an artificial flavor and the homemade is delicious!

Whip cream
2 cups of Heavy whipping Cream
1 ½ cups of powdered sugar ( while your making you can taste and if you want to add more or less its up to you).
½ tsp. Vanilla Extract

Add all ingredients and whip until soft peaks form. DON’T OVER WHIP your cream will fall flat and it’s hard to save it after that!
Put cream aside in fridge and proceed to make vanilla pudding.
2  3.4oz of instant Vanilla Pudding
3 cups of cold milk
Mix pudding with 3 cups of milk and beat for 3mins until it looks like pudding.
Fold in whip cream to the pudding mixture being careful not to mix to much and deflate the whip cream.
Now it’s time to start making the cake!
Place a layer of graham crackers covering the bottom of the dish. Follow by adding a layer of the pudding/cream mixture, enough to cover the graham cracker. Continue to make two more layers and you want to finish with the cream being the last layer. Place the cake in the fridge for 2hrs, you want the top layer of pudding to harden.


After the cake hardens put the chocolate frosting in the micro for about 45 sec. The frosting should poor out and continue to frost the cake. That’s it you have a great cake to take to any get together and I can guarantee that your going to be asked to bring this cake to everything!
