Happy Birthday to You!


Today is our daughter's birthday and in honor of her I'm posting a recipe for Chocolate Eclair Cake. She is her mother's daughter with her love of chocolate, and apparently so is our granddaughter. You go girl! :-) Hope you enjoy this not so calorie friendly, but oh so yummy dessert! HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRANDI!

Chocolate Éclair Cake


Pastry:
1 cup water
1 cup flour
1/2 cup butter
4 eggs

Filling:
1 8oz package cream cheese
2 cups milk
2 packages instant vanilla pudding
1/2 teaspoon Rum flavoring

Hershey's chocolate syrup
Cool whip

Pastry:
Boil water and butter then remove from heat. Add flour and stir until mixed. Add eggs all at once stirring until well blended. Spread in 9x13 inch pan and bake for 40 minutes or until golden at 350 degrees.

Filling:
Beat cream cheese with milk. Add pudding mix and Rum flavoring. Beat until smooth (it will thicken as you beat). Pour over cooked pastry, top with cool whip and drizzle with Hershey's chocolate syrup.

  1. Thanks, Mom! Again, I think you should demonstrate how this is made while you're here and I'll take copious notes to make sure I get it right the next time. =)
