Chocolate Jody - Cake From Heaven - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 (510 g) package devil's food cake mix (2 layer size)
Glaze
2 tablespoons cocoa (I use Fry's)
1 1/2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons water
3/4 cup icing sugar
Filling
2 cups whipping cream (500ml)
1 (92 g) package instant vanilla pudding (4 serving size)

Preparation

Prepare cake according to package directions. This can be baked in either a 9 x 13, 2 - 8 x 8's or a bundt pan. Allow to cool.
In a microwaveable container, heat cocoa, butter and water for 20 seconds. Stir, then heat for an additional 10 seconds.
Beat until smooth, using an electric mixer, while adding icing sugar in 1/4 cup increments. Set aside to cool. If once cooled, the glaze is too thick, it may be thinned by stiring in warm water, 1/2 tsp at a time until desired consistancy is reached.
Add pudding mix to the whipping cream, and beat until firm peaks form. Set aside.
Cut the cooled cake into layers. (cut the 9x13 in half , to form two 9 x 6-1/2\" layers).
Set aside some of the cream mixture for decorating the top.
Spread cream mixture on top of bottom layer, top with the second cake layer. If you have more than two layers -- continue in this fashion, ending with a cake layer.
Spread the chocolate glaze on the top layer. Decorate with remaining cream.
