Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, instant vanilla pudding mix, beaten eggs, oil, and water. Mix with an electric mixer on medium speed for about 2 minutes, until well combined and fluffy.
3
Pour the cake batter into a greased 9x13 inch baking pan, spreading it evenly.
4
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
5
Once baked, allow the cake to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
6
To prepare the filling, combine the flour and milk in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir constantly until the mixture thickens to the consistency of a paste. This may take some time, so keep stirring diligently. Once thickened, remove from the heat and let it cool completely in the refrigerator for about 2 hours.
7
After the filling has cooled, beat in the softened butter, sugar, butter flavored shortening, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until the filling achieves a light and fluffy consistency, similar to whipped cream.
8
To assemble the cake, carefully remove it from the pan and slice it horizontally into two layers.
9
Spread the creamy filling evenly on the bottom layer of the cake.
10
Place the top layer back onto the filled bottom layer, gently pressing down.

Serve immediately, or refrigerate the cake for a while to chill before serving. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
