Shortcut Boston Cream Cake

The day started out with a trip to the grocery store.. with 3 out of 5 kids.. not bad:) We get in the store and the adventure starts with a trip to the bathroom, 3 balloons and a stop at the free cookies.. okay, now it's time to shop (finally!)
My usual stop down the baking isle and I come across the new Duncan Hines glaze... Immediately my mind drifts to childhood and my late mom's Boston Cream cake. It was sooo good, and of course from scratch with a homemade chocolate glaze. But, with five kids, it alright to take a shortcut every now and then! By the way I prefer Duncan Hines cake mixes, but, hey, Betty was on sale:)
