How to Make Cream Puff Cake
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large heavy saucepan, heat 1 cup (2 sticks) butter and 1 cup water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
- Remove from heat. Add 2 cups all-purpose flour all at once and stir vigorously until a smooth ball of dough forms and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
- Transfer the dough to a large bowl and let it cool slightly (about 5 minutes).
- Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. The batter should be smooth and glossy.
- Spread the batter evenly into the bottom and up the sides of an ungreased 9x13 inch baking pan.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
- Let the cake cool completely on a wire rack before filling.
- **Make the filling:** In a large bowl, beat together 1 (8 ounce) package of cream cheese (softened), 1/2 cup milk, and 1 (3.4 ounce) instant vanilla pudding mix until smooth and creamy.
- Spread the pudding filling evenly over the cooled cream puff shell.
- Top with your favorite whipped topping and drizzle generously with chocolate syrup.
