CHOCOLATE TWINKIE CAKE
Age is NOT a factor in who loves this cake--I've had adults and children go gah-gah over this little kitchen creation! Cutting the cake horizontally is the hardest part of the whole deal; don't be a perfectionist because no one is going to take measurements on how evenly you sliced it! :-) Leave out the cocoa...and this is a very close cousin to the Twinkie Cakes you found in your lunch box when you were a child!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350; grease a 13x9 pan.
- In a mixing bowl, combine sugar, shortening, vanilla and eggs; beating until very smooth.
- In a separate bowl, combine remaining DRY ingredients; set aside.
- Pour milk into a measuring cup.
- In three or four portions, alternate adding flour mixture and milk to the sugar mixture in the mixing bowl, beating well after each addition; scrape sides of bowl, and beat for one more minute (or so).
- Pour into prepared pan, smooth out the top, smack pan firmly against countertop (removes bubbles), two or three times.
- Pop it into the oven; bake for 25-30 minutes (springy top or clean toothpick); cool 5-8 minutes on rack.
- While cake is cooling, prepare filling: Cream butter & shortening, then add sugars, then milk, vanilla and lemon extract; beat until very fluffy & creamy; set aside.
- When cake is cooled, use bread-cutting (serrated) knife and slice in half, depth-wise.
- Remove top half of cake (slide hands between two layers and lift up--voila!); liberally spread filling over the bottom section, keeping edges clean.
- Place top half of cake on filling, press gently.
- Cover and allow to sit for a day to develop flavors (and to test your willpower!); altho' we've had good results eating right away!
- This recipe is easily halved and made in an 8- or 9-inch pan, too (and much easier to do the filling!).
- Cut into rectangles to sort-of resemble the traditional twinkie-cake shape.
