<\/p>I see the problem.....The 3Tbs. of cornstarch is in the wrong section. The glaze doesn't need thickening. It belongs in the filling. Try it that way and I bet it works.","CommentId":11,"DateRated":"","GUID":"FABAF70BBB854DE7A6FB5E8B8B3952EC","MemberId":967384,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"jetfan27","SubmittedDate":"04\/22\/2011 10:50"},{"Comment":"
After having the same problem as other contributors, with the cream filing being runny, I made this recipe a second time. This time I did as BrendaKay50 suggested and added the milk VERY slowly, whipping all the while. It made all the difference in the world and this recipe is now a \"keeper\".

Problem with filling. should the \"sugar\" have been listed as confectioners? I made the filling and it turned out with all the fat on top and watery milk on the bottom of the pot. SO, I skimmed all the top stuff and mixed it with confectioners sugar and the cake turned out fantastic!!

Like most other contributors, I ended up with a runny mess when I made the filing. Even adding 2 cups of icing sugar didn't help much. Wish I had read the comments before attempting to make this recipe.<\/p>","CommentId":14,"DateRated":"04\/13\/2011 16:56","GUID":"66b0818fa74c4737b3ef31908c32f291","MemberId":5114810,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"nilouve","SubmittedDate":"04\/13\/2011 16:57"},{"Comment":"
This is a great recipe. When making the filling, after whipping the butter, shortening and sugar, pour in the warm milk about a Tablespoon at a time while still whipping, otherwise the filling will turn out runny.<\/p>","CommentId":15,"DateRated":"02\/05\/2011 20:40","GUID":"7c4fcf79f4d34873a92a6f9c4970b1ba","MemberId":5808252,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"BrendaKay50","SubmittedDate":"02\/05\/2011 20:40"},{"Comment":"
So yummy! The first time I made this recipe my filling turned out runny as well. Letting it sit only 2 minutes was not enough; it needs to sit longer so it is only fairly warm and THEN add it. The results were fabulous with that change!<\/p>","CommentId":16,"DateRated":"01\/10\/2011 16:14","GUID":"d4e7570a1ed64b67904e060301f85da7","MemberId":5750389,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"HandLady","SubmittedDate":"01\/10\/2011 16:14"},{"Comment":"
I would never make this cake again, I've tried it two times and both times there is something wrong with the filling, way to runny, I've even put it in the refridge and it thicken up alittle.<\/p>
Waste of time and ingredients.<\/p>
Doesn't even look like the picture.<\/p>
Sorry.<\/p>
Marge Dellert, PLEASE tell us all what is wrong with this recipe.<\/p>","CommentId":17,"DateRated":"10\/15\/2010 10:25","GUID":"463dc853c3434921a1a7dcad2ba3420e","MemberId":1202135,"Rating":1,"ScreenName":"sharonbuckingham@yahoo.com","SubmittedDate":"10\/15\/2010 10:25"},{"Comment":"
I've made this recipe twice now-- it looks so good! But...I've had problems with the filling BOTH times-- TOO runny and I've had to stick it in the fridge to try and thicken it. There's something wrong with the filling recipe-- too much milk perhaps? Or, wrong kind of milk? I thought maybe I should be using Confectioners' sugar instead of granulated sugar but haven't tried it...don't think I'll be making these cakes again...:(<\/p>","CommentId":18,"DateRated":"07\/31\/2010 13:03","GUID":"e9ad0a1f59ea4f16a2e28d59c85ab0df","MemberId":5325420,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"lilomih","SubmittedDate":"07\/31\/2010 13:03"},{"Comment":"
I had the same problem with the filling, watery. I was going to throw it out but instead I put it in the fridge for about 15 mins and whipped it again and it turned out great.

for filling in this recipe should be evaporated milk not regular milk<\/p>","CommentId":21,"DateRated":"","GUID":"90B49A486C394BD7924A4D2267BDEFF3","MemberId":766127,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"rdallape","SubmittedDate":"06\/13\/2009 14:37"},{"Comment":"
The filling in this recipe should be thickened with 1 Tablespoon flour while you are heating the milk, stirring until thickened and then completely before whipping with the butter\/sugar mixture.<\/p>","CommentId":22,"DateRated":"","GUID":"F0B0603D1D804D2C841D168D9BA988BB","MemberId":2208658,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"grammalinda","SubmittedDate":"02\/17\/2009 15:10"},{"Comment":"
I make a cake called HO HO Bars and it is extremely similar to this recipe. Except you do not split the cake, the filling is made with a small can of evaported milk -- not 3\/4 cup of milk -- and the frosting is a can of ready to spread chocolate frosting melted and then drizzeled\/poured over the cream layer. YUMMM!<\/p>\r\n

I would post my recipe but lost it in the flood in June. [:'(]<\/p>","CommentId":23,"DateRated":"","GUID":"B7A546A733CB4212963082D8B3CC9A6C","MemberId":529648,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"Pinky50","SubmittedDate":"11\/02\/2008 16:10"},{"Comment":"
I just tried to make this cake as well. There is something wrong with the filling ingredients.

I tried this......am not sure if it's just me or if there's a mistake with the ingredients for the filling......but, I tried the filling twice and both times it turned out way too watery to be used. It sure sounds and looks good, and the glaze is perfect and yummy but the filling....I just had no luck with.<\/p>","CommentId":26,"DateRated":"","GUID":"9b263f859ca945358585544b73a66b64","MemberId":2928923,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"bvcj1231","SubmittedDate":"03\/15\/2008 15:31"},{"Comment":"
