Favorite Ingredients Friday for August 31


For today, I'm going to share a yummy, easy dessert recipe that always goes over exceedingly well at potlucks and family get-togethers. Here it is:

CHOCOLATE ECLAIR CAKE

1 cup water
1 stick margarine
1 cup flour
4 eggs

2 3.25 ounce packages instant vanilla pudding
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 cups milk

8 ounces whipped topping
1 bottle fudge sauce

Bring water and margarine to a boil. Remove from heat. Add flour and beat vigorously. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Pour the dough into an ungreased jelly roll pan (10x15 inches) and bake at 400ยบ for 30 minutes. Remove to a wire rack and cool completely.

Combine pudding mix, cream cheese and milk. Mix until smooth and creamy; spread this filling over the cooled cake. Spread whipped topping over the filling. Drizzle with fudge sauce. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Yield: At least 12 servings

This very delicious dessert is a recipe I heard many years ago on a radio cooking show. It may be made well ahead and serves a bunch of people.

    Hi ladies,

    So nice to see you all here around my kitchen table! Hope you try this dessert and enjoy it. I've had the recipe for a long time, so it's not new, but it sure is a tried and true favorite with my family and friends.

    Have a great weekend!

    God bless,
    Mrs.T

    I've seen a recipe before for eclair cake, but it used graham crackers. This sounds like it is actually like an eclair. THanks!

    Hi Magi --

    I have that other recipe too, the one with the graham crackers. And it is very tasty. But I like this one, with the eclair/cream puff kind of base, much better. It tastes much more like actual eclairs.

    Have a wonderful weekend!

    God bless,
    Mrs.T
