Homemade chocolate cake, homemade cream filling and homemade chocolate frosting. This post will consist of three recipes with one delicious cake, you will want to save this one!

Recipe One: Make homemade chocolate cake in two 8″ or 9″ round cake pans, it’s OK to use a box mix. Click HERE for my cake recipe. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 5-10 minutes then carefully remove them and place on a cooling rack until completely cool. Once cool, place one of the cakes on a cake plate.

Recipe Two: (Recipe card is below) Make the whipped cream filling, start by adding the butter and cream cheese to a mixing bowl.

Using a mixer, beat until smooth and creamy.

    • Thank you Paul the frosting is a Hershey recipe and super easy and delicious. It is the only one I make for cake when I want chocolate frosting. This tasted amazing and I will be making it again.

    • Try the Hershey one bowl frosting too, this is the only frosting I use on cakes anymore. Let me know what you think, it keeps really well in the refrigerator and never dried out or got stale.

      • Will do. It won’t be any time real soon between our refrigerator woes and the heat but I will try the cake, filling, and frosting for sure!

  25. I was scrolling thru to see where I left off – I liked and didn’t comment? I thought it reminded me of Suzy Qs for some reason. Lots of occasions for cake – dads, grads. It looks delicious.

      • I’d be in Hog Heaven for sure – interesting they call it a Ho Ho cake and I think it was Hostess Ho Hos, not Suzy Q (wrong shape)! Hersheys makes anything better!

    • It keeps very well in the refrigerator. I made sure I made it when the grandkids were here then gave a piece to my daughter when she picked them up. I still ate a ton and it was worth every bite. 🤣
