Summary: Okay, maybe I’m taking liberties calling this a cake, perhaps it should be called a slice? Either way, this tastes just like an eclair and is therefore delicious! It was really rather easy, most of the time is in the chilling. I did this in stand mixer but you could use a bowl and electric beaters. This is a great ‘make ahead’ recipe and I can guarantee this will make you the most popular person at any gathering!
