I didn't want to rate this seeing as a changed it too much but wanted to share my experience. Since so many complained of the shortening taste I chose increase the butter and decrease the shortening to about a 65/35 ratio as opposed to 50/50. I also used regular sugar which I turned into powder in my mini processor because I wanted the sweetness but not the grainyness. Excellent vanilla is important and I used the white kind which gave me pure white filling. I had some open evaporated milk in the fridge which I think was to old so I used vanilla flavored coffee cream because I didn't want to use milk and that's all I had. The end result was quite nice and I used it to pipe into the center of my blond two bite brownies which sank in the center while cooling. So thanks for the starter recipe.

Great, I was worried about the granulated sugar being grainy but after the filling sat for a day it was smooth. Delicious.

Ok I realize that I am the only on that is going to put a bad reveiw on here but I did not care for this. I followed it to a t and there's way to much shortening. Just as another review said. We even added sugar- not powdered- ground that up in a food processor to not be gritty and it still was terrible. My husband and I didn't enjoy this at all.

I didn't care for this recipe at all. It was pretty bland and too "shortening'y" tasting. I had to add a little bit of salt and a lot more sugar to make it worthwhile. I won't be making this one again...it did nothing to add to the cakes I made. I tried it with a chocolate cake and a strawberry cake.

This is the best filling I have ever had and so easy! Just beat the hell out of it and it will be smooth and light. I made the traditional chocolate cake from Hershey's website, split the layers and filled the cake with this filling. I then iced with fudge icing. What a hit! And so beautiful! I will use this filling lots of ways, I am sure.

Yummy! I did have to add some more sugar - it tasted too shortening-y without it. Used it as a filling with the "Too Much Chocolate Cake" with the Chocolate Fudge Buttercream frosting.

This turned into a pretty fluffy white filling. I paired it with the Too Much Chocolate Cake and Satiny Chocolate glaze from this website for a friend's birthday cake. She said it tasted like a giant Little Debbie cake!

This is a wonderful filling for a chocolate cake that is frosted with a sweeter chocolate frosting.

I this recipe as is is pretty bland.I doubled the recipe to use a whole can of evap milk. I added about 2 cups of powder sugur to get a some what of a sweet taste, and then it was ok. I decided to try this recipe because i am doing a wedding cake soon and i needed a fluffy whipped chocolate moose filling but i didnt want cream in it i was worried about it going sour while the wedding cake set out all day. after i added the additional powder sugar I added about 1/4 cup cocoa powder and it made it awesome!!!! so thats why i gave this 5 stars only if its chocolate.

once again, pretty dissapointed. My husband and I both thought it was pretty tasteless. Not a whole lot of flavor. I tried it on chocolate cake, might be better on pastries.

Wow. Takes an ordinary dessert and turns it into five star! I baked a yellow cake from a mix, layered this filling in between, topped with a chocolate glaze, and wow, I impressed even myself. Hard to quit eating this out of the bowl!

excellent recipe....sandwiched this filling between layers of puff pastry and it tasted kind of like a cream horn, but better and not as sweet.

Very good! It's a keeper. My children (ages 3 & 4) ate in straight from the mixing bowl. I'm not sure if white sugar refers to confectioners or granulated sugar. I've used this recipe 3 times. The first time I used it in a german chocolate layered cake with chocolate frosting for 60 children. I used the granulated sugar & it recieved many compliments. The next 2 times I used confectioners sugar in a layered chocolate cake with buttercream frosting (for a birthday party & a cake for home). They were well recieved as well. What sugar do you (the reviewers) use & what does white sugar refer to?
