Ingredients:  
Cake:
1/2 cup softened butter
2 cups sugar.
2 large eggs.
2 tsp. vanilla.
1/2 cup cocoa
1/2 cup milk
1 cup cold water
1 tsp. baking soda
2 cups flour

Filling:
5 Tbsp. flour
1 cup water.
1 cup sugar.
1/2 tsp. sea salt
1/2 cup shortening (Crisco)
1/2 cup butter
1 tsp. vanilla

Frosting:
3 Tbsp. butter.
2 Tbsp. Cocoa.
1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 Tbsp. warm milk
1 tsp. vanilla
Directions:
Directions:
Cake: Combine butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla and cocoa. Add milk and water; add flour and soda. Pour into greased and floured 9 x 13 inch pan. Bake at 350º for 30 minutes. Cool; flip cake onto a cookie sheet that has been greased and floured also. This will prevent the cake from sticking to the pan. Take a piece of sewing thread and gently slice the cake lengthwise. Very carefully lift the top section back into your 9 x 13 inch pan. Add filling between the two halves; frost cake; and keep refrigerated before and after serving.

Filling: Mix flour and water; cook until it forms a paste. Cool. (I put it into the refrigerator while I'm doing the next steps.) Mix all other ingredients until fluffy.; add to cooled paste and whip again.

Frosting: Melt butter in saucepan. Stir in cocoa until dissolved; add powdered sugar, warm milk and vanilla. Do not over cook.

*Best flavor if made 24 hours in advance of serving.
