    Growing up, my birthday cake every year was a poor people version of this cake! XD We used instant vanilla pudding, graham crackers instead of choux pastry, and normal chocolate frosting. I still love it! But... I suspect I'll be making Carolina/Erin's version from now on. ;)

    I love watching Food 52. Was so happy to see this recipe, so much easier than making my favorite, eclairs. My husband and I love watching Erin Jean McDowell. We "binge-watch her on RUclips. Forgive me if I am wrong, but the recipe listed for the Pate a Choux, shouldn't it have 1/2 cup of milk and 1/2 of water? I thought Erin uses both when she makes hers. Again, sorry if I am the one that's wrong.

    my grandma always made a version of this but hasn’t in a long time because it’s too “labor intensive” and she refuses to give out certain recipes. i highly doubt she was making the choux and cream from scratch like this though… i do remember a box of pudding being involved. i’ll have to give this a whirl and see what she thinks.
