Double Layer German Chocolate Cake Goodness!

[katleept]

1 Duncan Hines German chocolate cake mix, with the required amounts of eggs, water, and vegetable oil done with eggs, milk, and butter respectively
1 French vanilla pudding -- regular size
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup milk
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 tub of coconut pecan frosting
1 tub of caramel frosting

1. Mix all ingredients except the tubs of frosting together until smooth.

2. Pour mixture into 2 8-inch cake pans, preferably round.

3. Bake in oven on 350 F until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the cakes comes out clean (or, in other words, until they are done).

4. Mix the two tubs of frosting together.

5. Spoon the frosting onto the top of the cake you want to use for the second layer.  Smooth it out until the whole cake is covered.

6. Put the other cake on top of the cake you just frosted.

7. Finish frosting the two-layered cake, making certain that you don't leave an inch of cake uncovered.  Use as much or as little frosting as you desire.  (We use a lot!  We only had, maybe, 1/2 cup of the frosting left at the end.  You can save any remaining frosting in your refrigerator for later use.)

8. Eat and enjoy!  :-)
