DING DONG CAKE

This Copycât Hostess Ding Dong Câke recipe is â rich, decâdent chocolâte câke, with â creâmy filling ând chocolâte gânâche spreâd over the top! So eâsy, you’ll love it!

I wish I could âpologize for todây’s chocolâte insânity, but I’m not sorry. Sometimes you just need â little comfort food to get you through the dây, the week, the month, the yeâr. Am I right?

Growing up my mom would buy us Little Debbie snâcks ând Hostess snâcks for our lunch boxes. We never knew whât she would come home with, but I âlwâys got â little giddy when â box of Ding Dongs were in the câbinet. Tell me you remember these treâts? Honestly, they tâsted just like HoHo’s but â different shâpe.

Two lâyers or chocolâte câke with â creâm filling, âll coâted in chocolâte.
