* CREAM PUFF CAKE* - Easy

Category: Desserts

1 c. water
1 stick butter
1 c. flour
4 eggs

Crust: Boil water and butter together. Add flour. Mix well on low heat. Dough will come away from the pan. Remove from stove. Add eggs one at a time. Beat until egg disappears. Spread in ungreased 9x 13-inch cake pan. Bake at 400 for 25 minutes. Press out bubbles when cool. Various recipes have this timed at 25 to 40 minutes so go with your instincts. It will look done on the outside before it's cooked through.

Topping:
2 small boxes vanilla instant pudding I used French vanilla
2 1/2 c. cold milk
1 8-oz pkg. cream cheese
1 8-oz container Cool Whip

Cream cheese until smooth. Add pudding and milk until thick. Spread on cool cake. Top with Cool Whip. Optional: Drizzle with chocolate syrup.
