Ho Ho Cake Or Bars

Directions

1. 1
   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).
2. 2
   Make cake as directed on the cake mix package using the mix, water, oil, and eggs.
3. 3
   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.
4. 4
   Cool completely.
5. 5
   Beat the filling ingredients until light and fluffy; this will take about 10-15 minutes.
6. 6
   (Don't be alarmed if it looks kind of curdled and scary at first since it takes time for it to pull together!).
7. 7
   Spread the filling over the cooled cake.
8. 8
   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).
9. 9
   Pour the frosting evenly over the filling.
10. 10
    Refrigerate until thoroughly cool and firm (overnight is highly recommended).
11. 11
    Store cake in the refrigerator.
