Ding Dong Cake #cake #desserts

Ding Dongs, Ring Dings, Swiss Rolls, Hostess Cakes. They are on the whole essentially a similar bite. Chocolate Cake, a cream filling and afterward canvassed in chocolate.

Try not to give the formula a chance to frighten you away. This is an extremely simple formula! You likely have every one of the fixings in your storeroom. Heat your 2 cake layers, at that point stack them with all the cream filling. You need all that filling in there. At that point the Ganache.

This is a "messy" cake. No extravagant icing. Pouring the ganache over the highest point of the cake and giving it a chance to dribble down the sides is FUN!

Ding Dong Cake-rich devil's food cake, a vanilla cream filling and smothered in chocolate ganache! Just like the snack cake you remember from childhood!

FOR THE GANACHE

• 1 12 ounce bag semi-sweet chocolate chips

INSTRUCTIONS
FOR THE CAKE

1. Chop chocolate so no pieces are larger than a chocolate chip. Place chocolate in a medium bowl or a 2 cup measuring cup and pour hot coffee over chocolate. Let sit for 5 minutes then stir, making sure all chocolate is melted and well combined with coffee. Set aside to cool.
2. Sift all dry ingredients together-sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
3. In the a large mixing bowl (or the mixing bowl of your stand mixer) beat eggs on medium speed until frothy.
4. Slowly add oil, buttermilk, vanilla and chocolate-coffee mixture to eggs, beating well to blend.
5. Add in sugar/flour/cocoa mixture, one cup at a time, mixing just to combine after each addition.
6. Pour batter into 2 9 inch cake pans that have been well greased and lined with parchment paper on the bottom.
7. Bake in a preheated 325 degree oven for 45-50 minutes, using toothpick to test for doneness.
8. Let cakes cool completely in pan. Using a plastic knife, run knife around edges to loosen before turning out onto rack or plate.

FOR THE CREAM FILLING

1. Pour cold milk into a small saucepan. Before turning on the heat, whisk in flour so no lumps remain. Turn heat on to medium low, and stirring, heat until mixture is thick, like a roux. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla and let cool completely.
2. Cream together butter and sugar on medium high speed, until fluffy, about 8 minutes.
3. Add in the milk mixture and beat again until mixture resembles a whipped cream.

TO ASSEMBLE

1. Place one layer of cake on an 8 inch cake circle, top side down. Cover with a thick layer of cream filling then place top layer of cake, top side down, on top of filling gently pressing down to secure layers. Place cake on a wire rack on top of a wax paper lined cookie sheet.

GANACHE

1. Place chocolate chips in a large measuring cup.
2. Heat cream and butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat until boiling, careful not to scorch.
3. Pour heated cream over chocolate chips and let sit for 5 minutes. Stir chocolate to make sure completely melted and smooth.
4. Slowly pour ganache over top of cake, letting it drip down the sides. If needed use a spatula to help spread ganache on top over sides.
5. When ganache is set, cake can be transferred to a serving plate.
6. Chill cake for 4 hours before serving.
