BLACKOUT CAKE
I first saw a recipe like this one on a cooking show that was featuring the famous "Lady Bird" Bakery in Brooklyn N.Y. Their version is of course termed the Brooklyn Blackout Cake, but I made a few personal touches, and here is my version of a blackout cake. Enjoy!

- For the Filling: Mix together all of the ingredients until powder is well blended and then refrigerate for 20- 25 minutes.

- For Assembly: Once your cakes are cooled, remove them from the cake pans, and trim them to level the tops. Reserve the trimmings. Place the bottom layer on your cake plate and then apply a thick layer of the pudding and then the second layer. Frost generously, and then take the reserved cake trimmings and run them through a food processor to make crumbs. Press the crumbs into the sides and top of the cake.
