This one’s for the kid in all of us. Remember those chocolatey snack cakes with the creamy white filling? Yep — those Ding Dongs. Now imagine a homemade, grown-up version that’s bigger, bolder, and better in every way. That’s what this Ding Dong Cake is all about.
It starts with rich, ultra-moist chocolate cake layers. Then we add a soft, whipped vanilla filling (made from a classic ermine-style frosting), and finish the whole thing with a glossy blanket of chocolate ganache. It’s nostalgic, indulgent, and totally worth the effort.
If you’re celebrating something — or honestly, even if you’re not — this cake is a showstopper.
