OMG Amber that is a keeper. Not to sound stupid but the shortening did you use Crisco in a can? Or liquid and if so can I use canola oil? OK it sounds stupid. BUT I gotta make that cake for some kind of occasion.

Crazy a baker I'm not but I think the shortening is Crisco-the solid kind.

Thanks Lacey I didn't think they made it anymore. Gotta make that cake.

[LaceyEx]

Let me know when you make it I'll visit.

I'll have to find and excuse to make it...............I promised myself I would knuckle down on my diet this week so if I lose enough I will reward myself....hehehehhehehehheee

That looks really good and I have a couple of questions
Does it actually taste like a Ding Dong?

The directions say bake in a 9 x13 and cut in half, but the picture is 4 layers.
Did you have to make extra filling?

Ahhh .... the famous CD Ding Dong Cake!

I'm confused about one thing - it's a four layer cake but you say to cut it once horizontally?
Then use long bread knife to cut each half in half?

Ooh that looks good! I gotta get outta here or I'll never stick to my diet!!!

Correct. Only the solid at room temp shortening will give it the fluffy filling texture we all know and love.
