I made a layer cake but have no filling!

[cat19]

I forgot to have DH pick up pudding. Help! It's a milk chocolate cake, I have chocolate frosting for the outside, but nothing for the middle. In the house I have: powdered cocoa, powdered sugar, brown sugar, granulated sugar, 2%milk, ricotta cheese, cocoanut oil, canola oil, vanilla... I know something can be made out of some combination of these things that will go well! Help me out!

No chocolate chips huh? Hmmmm.....

[mscatra]

Can you put the chocolate frosting between the layers and make a glaze out of powdered sugar and milk? Otherwise, I got nothin'. You need some heavy cream for a ganache!

Do you have butter? I'm pretty sure you could make a chocolate buttercream frosting with those ingredients.

I don't have a scale right now, it broke. 14oz is equal to what?

This one just needs regular sugar (again, haven't tried it, but may be okay for filling)

I think 14 ounces is in the realm of a cup and three-quarters. But baking is so precise wait for Uncle Jesse!

8 oz in a cup, you can estimate since there' s no baking involved

What about jam? No mixing required! Peanut butter + a small amount if icing sugar + milk to thin out the consistency?

[cat19]

Well, since e cake was literally falling apart, I just slapped the layers on top of each other ant frosted it with the can DH brought home. He's not allowed to go cake shopping any more.
