OMG! This cake, like, made me so popular!

So, we had this crazy two weeks worth of celebrations at the clinic where I work. (Tomorrow marks the last day with a Salsa making competition, which I am NOT competing in!) The celebration was meant to mark Nurses Week which my hospital pointedly chose to ignore, but we're not talking about that anymore, I have let it go! *Deep Breath*

Anyways, one of the days was a Chocolate Extravaganza Fantasy Madness theme where everyone brought a chocolaty delicious dessert to share with everyone. I was not working that day, but I brought in this dessert anyways and evidently it received quite a lot of fanfare! I just had to make it again for Mother's Day! Boy, am I glad I did!

A couple of weeks ago, I asked my fellow blogging friend Mommy's Kitchen for some advice about what I should make for this celebration. She had several suggestions, but this one seemed right up my alley as it didn't involve any baking! I would like to introduce to everyone: The Chocolate Eclair Cake! Be prepared everybody, you are about to be subjected to some extremely unprofessional photography!



All you need is:


Graham Crackers
Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix
2 cups of milk
a tub of Cool Whip
a regular size jar of chocolate frosting





Prepare the vanilla pudding according to directions with 2 cups of milk (*Extreme action shot!)



Add Cool Whip (Really appetizing, I know!) And nice shadow of myself in the picture! I am GOOD!



Layer graham crackers at the bottom of a 9 x 13" pan






Alternate with your pudding mixture




Make sure you finish with the graham crackers!




Microwave the frosting on DEFROST for 30-40 seconds...That's all you need for it to be the perfect consistency

Spread evenly over the top!




Now, this cake needs to sit overnight so the graham crackers will get really soft~it was super yummy and unbelievably easy! Thanks Mommy's Kitchen!!!

Enjoy! :)
