HO HO CAKE OR BARS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F (or temperature specified on cake mix box); grease and flour a 9 x 13 baking pan (for cake) OR a large jelly roll pan (for bars).
• Make cake as directed on the cake mix package using the mix, water, oil, and eggs.
• Bake 30-40 minutes for the cake or as directed on the box, OR 12-15 minutes to make the bars in a jelly roll pan.
• Cool completely.
• Beat the filling ingredients until light and fluffy; this will take about 10-15 minutes.
• (Don't be alarmed if it looks kind of curdled and scary at first since it takes time for it to pull together!).
• Spread the filling over the cooled cake.
• Warm the frosting in the microwave until it is a pourable consistency (do this slowly by only cooking for 15-20 seconds at a time, and stirring).
• Pour the frosting evenly over the filling.
• Refrigerate until thoroughly cool and firm (overnight is highly recommended).
• Store cake in the refrigerator.
