CAKE
1 (18 1/4 ounce) package devil's food cake mix
1 1/4 cups water (or amount specified on the cake mix box)
1/2 cup vegetable oil (or amount specified on the cake mix box)
3 eggs (or amount specified on the cake mix box)
FILLING
3/4 cup sugar
6 ounces evaporated milk
1/2 cup margarine or 1/2 cup butter
2 teaspoons vanilla
2/3 cup vegetable shortening
1/8 teaspoon salt
ICING
1 (15 ounce) can dark chocolate frosting (or your favorite homemade frosting recipe)

1
Preheat oven to 350u00b0F (or temperature specified on cake mix box); grease and flour a 9 x 13 baking pan (for cake) OR a large jelly roll pan (for bars).
2
Make cake as directed on the cake mix package using the mix, water, oil, and eggs.
3
Bake 30-40 minutes for the cake or as directed on the box, OR 12-15 minutes to make the bars in a jelly roll pan.
4
Cool completely.
5
Beat the filling ingredients until light and fluffy; this will take about 10-15 minutes.
6
(Don't be alarmed if it looks kind of curdled and scary at first since it takes time for it to pull together!).
7
Spread the filling over the cooled cake.
8
Warm the frosting in the microwave until it is a pourable consistency (do this slowly by only cooking for 15-20 seconds at a time, and stirring).
9
Pour the frosting evenly over the filling.
10
Refrigerate until thoroughly cool and firm (overnight is highly recommended).
11
Store cake in the refrigerator.
