LUCKY CAKES

Steps:

• Cookie:.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
• Cream together sugar, 1/2 cup shortening and eggs with mixer in a large bowl.
• In separate bowl mix together flour, cocoa, salt, baking powder and baking soda.
• Add vanilla to the sour milk mixture (vinegar and milk) in a small bowl or measuring cup.
• Now mix all of these together with the creamed mixture in the large mixing bowl.
• Mix thoroughly.
• Add 1 cup boiling water and mix thoroughly. The dough will be almost like a cake batter.
• Drop by spoonfuls onto a greased baking sheet.
• Bake for 5 minutes in a 450 degree F oven. These bake quickly - do not over bake.
• While your cookies cool you can make the filling.
• Cook 1 cup milk with 6 Tablespoons of flour until thick. Stir continually while cooking. Once thick, remove it from heat and allow to cool.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the sugar, margarine, shortening, vanilla and powdered sugar.
• Mix well.
• Add the cooled paste (milk/flour mixture).
• Mix until it is no longer grainy in texture. It will have a whipped cream look to it.
• Once the cookies are cool and the filling is made, take one cookie, turn it upside down and frost with filling. Top it with a cookie that is very close in size. Continue until all the cookies have been assembled into this "Oreo" type cookie. You can either wrap them in foil, or wrap them in plastic wrap. These cookies can be frozen for up to 1 month.

LUCKY SHAMROCK CAKE FOR ST. PATRICK'S DAY- 1 BOWL

Steps:

• Prepare your choice of pudding according to package directions with the 2 cups of milk. I usually use the cooked chocolate pudding. Chill with a piece of plastic wrap pushed down onto the surface of the pudding so that it doesn't form a skin- yuck!
• Preheat oven to 350. Grease and flour one 8 inch round cake pan.
• In a bowl combine flour, sugar and baking powder. Add milk, butter, egg, vanilla and food coloring. Beat with a mixer on low speed till combined. Beat on medium 1 minute. Pour into cake pan.
• Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
• Cool in pan 5 minutes then remove from pan. Cool completely.
• To assemble cake, put cake layer on serving plate, spread pudding over the top and then spread the whipped cream or cool whip over pudding. I don't cover the sides with the whipped cream unless something goes wrong with the cake and it looks funny or something. I think the layers look pretty showing. Sprinkle green sugar, beads or other green cake decorations over the top to finish. Sometimes you can find little green shamrocks in the cookie decorating department.
