Twinkie Cake

I have been sick for the last week, so I have been out of the kitchen.  I am not itching to get back in and bake again.  Before I was sick I did get to make a delicious cake that my oldest sister loves, but I messed up the filling. I ended up changing the filling/frosting for the cake.  One of my next times in the kitchen I would like to try making the filling again. It is a simple cake, but I just have not figured out the filling.  I hope you enjoy it as much as my sister does. I will keep you posted on my future success of the whole cake. Enjoy!
Twinkie Cake
1.    Bake a 9x13 yellow cake. Split in half the cake lengthwise.
2.    In saucepan mix 5 T. flour and 1 c. milk and cook over low heat. Stir constantly until thick. Let it cool.
3.    In mixing bowl, beat 1 c. sugar, ½ tsp. salt, ½ c. shortening, ½ c butter, 1 tsp. vanilla until fluffy. Then add flour mixture and beat until fluffy.
4.    Fill the cake with the filling and then sprinkle powdered sugar on top of the cake and refrigerate. Set for 48 hours for best results.
