HELP! It's a yellow cake...?

Question

I can't find a recipe anywhere for this cake. It's a yellow cake with a cool whip like frosting and you can drizzle chocolate over the top and add chopped nuts. Does anyone know what this is called and what the recipe is?

Directions:

Grease a 9x13" baking pan. Preheat oven to 350F. Beat butter and sugar until fluffy. Add flour, at low speed in mixer, blend until mixture is pebbly and can be pressed together. Press mixture on bottom of buttered pan and bake for 20 minutes or until golden. Cool completely.

For pudding, beat egg yolks and set aside. Whisk the sugar, flour and milk in a medium saucepan until smooth. Set over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, just to a boil. Remove from heat and whisk a little bit of the hot, thick pudding into the beaten egg yolks then pour the yolk mixture back into the pudding, whisking well. Continue to cook 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until thick.

Pour pudding into bowl and add vanilla and butter, stirring until butter melts. Chill, with plastic wrap pressed directly on surface of pudding, until ready to use.

Beat cream cheese, sugar, vanilla and lemon juice just to blend. In seperate bowl, whip 1 cup cream to medium-stiff peaks. Fold a scoop of whipped cream into beaten cheese then fold remaining cream into cheese. Set aside.

Whip 1 1/2 cups cream, sugar and vanilla to stiff peaks. Spread crust with cream cheese mixture, top with pineapple, then caramel or chocolate sauce. Spread pudding over pineapple; spread whipped cream evenly over pudding. Chill well.

To make glaze, melt chocolate and butter over low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla. Drizzle on cake's surface

Answer 2

I don't know what it's called but the yellow cake can be just the boxed cake recipe made up. The cool whip would be mixed with a small package of made-up instant pudding - vanilla and then you drizzle the chocolate and nuts on top.

You can also take the yellow cake and add the juice from a can of fruit in place of the same amount of water, blend the fruit (whatever flavor you prefer - I like pears), and after the cake mix is all mixed up, stir in half the fruit. Put the rest of the fruit in the cool whip frosting. It makes a very moist cake - nice and light. I like to take the second half of the canned fruit and make a powdered sugar/water glaze, poke holes in the cake and pour the glaze over it when it comes right out of the oven.
