Does this cake require refrigeration because the filling has cooked milk? Please advise...I'm giving one for Mother's Day.
Thank you!!
from what I have read it does....however I made one for a Mothers Day Tea at school and it was out of refrigeration for a good 5 hours and it was fine. Gobbled up in minutes. Good luck
I started out making a cake that DIDN'T need refrigeration! Midway through Earlene's fudge cake recipe, I decided to try the filling for the Ding Dong cake. Hmmmm. Didn't consider it until now!
OOPS!!
Thank you SO much for your replies! I tried out the filling in some cupcakes and Mother's Day cakes. Everyone loved them! I delivered them to Gram and Great-Grandma at church and told them to refrigerate the cakes when they got them home. I'm glad to know that they would be okay otherwise!
I appreciate your insight!
Blessings!
Uh...what's ding dong filling? 
Where do I find the recipe?
Thanks.

I love this cake! And I love the filling for cupcakes!!
For those who made this cake, how did your filling turn out? I think I may have done something wrong with mine. I thought I followed the recipe to a T, but the filling still has kind of a sugary, grainy taste to it. Has anyone else had this problem? It has been kind of cold lately here, so I wonder if room temperature would have anything to do with it?
I creamed the sugar, butter and shortening together until fluffy, then placed it into the refrigerator until I was able to get back home. (I had to leave and go do an errand) Then I took the milk mixture and shortening mixture out of the fridge and then creamed the both of them together for another 4 to 5 minutes. Everything whipped up fluffy, it just tastes grainy.
Thanks for any help.
If I'm not mistaken--I'm going by memory here--I believe I incorporate the milk mixture while it is still a tad bit warm. That way the sugar dissolves better. Doing this, I have not had a problem with grainy texture.
Also--I add about a teaspoon or so of vanilla to mine--perhaps the bit of extra liquid also makes a difference.
