Another cake

I may have to unfriend my sister if she keeps posting these.

Chocolate Eclair Cake
1 cup water
1/2 cup butter
1 cup flour
4 large eggs
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 large box (5.1 ounces) vanilla instant pudding
3 cups milk
1 8 oz. container cool whip (you won’t use the whole container) or one batch of homemade whipped cream
chocolate syrup or homemade chocolate sauce

Instructions: Preheat oven to 400.
Lightly grease a 9″X13″ glass baking pan.

Eclair Crust: In a medium saucepan, melt butter in water and bring to a boil. Remove from heat. Stir in flour. Mix in one egg at a time, mixing completely before adding another egg. Spread mixture into pan, covering the bottom and sides evenly. *If the sides of your pan are too greased you won’t be able to get the mixture to stay up the sides so make sure to just lightly grease.
Bake for 30-40 minutes or until golden brown (Mine only took 25 minutes.) You may want to check it occasionally-you don’t want to overcook the crust, it will ruin the cake!

Remove from oven and let cool (don’t touch or push bubbles down).

Filling: Whip cream cheese in a medium bowl. In separate bowl make vanilla pudding. Make sure pudding is thick before mixing in with cream cheese. Slowly add pudding to cream cheese, mixing until there are no lumps. Let cool in fridge.When the crust is completely cooled, pour filling in. Top with layer of cool whip however thick you want it and serve with chocolate syrup.

*If you want to make this even better use homemade whipped cream.

The Chocolate Eclair one. The crust is almost done in the oven, and once cooled I can do the remaining steps.


Thanks for posting the recipe.

I wish someone would make all these cakes and just give me a bite. I don't even want a whole piece, just a bite.

My neighbor makes mille feuille, which is puff pastry layered with strawberries and custard. Holy hell it's good!

How is it that the people who live in your house aren't enormously fat??? Do you eat this stuff and then bulimia it back up??

Wow, that was quick, let me know how it is. I wanted to make it today, feel to crappy to go to the store. I'd rather not spread my germs anyway.

Bob won't eat it at all, Bubba only eats a smidgen of it, and I only want a piece of it....the rest goes to work for folks there to eat it.

Want me to bring you a piece tomorrow, or why don't you come down for dinner tonight?

Thank you but I'm supposed to have dinner plans unless I cancel them because of being sick from not smoking.

Well, I certainly hope you feel better soon.

Look for a lunchtime delivery of a piece of cake tomorrow.

Because junk food doesn't make a person fat. Over-eating the junk food, not eating fruits and veggies, and not exercising: that makes people fat.
