Easy Ding Dong Cake Recipes

GIANT DING DONG CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10 inch springform pan.
• In a large bowl, stir together the cake mix and instant pudding. Make a well in the center and pour in the eggs, oil and water. Mix until well blended. Spread evenly into the prepared pan.
• Bake for 45 to 50 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool cake completely on a wire rack before removing from pan.
• Slice a 1 inch thick slice off of the top of the cake and set aside. Scoop out the cake for the center of the bottom part to within 1 inch of the sides. Discard or save for another use. To make the filling, whisk together the flour and milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened. Set aside to cool completely.
• Once the flour and milk mixture has cooled, beat the 1/2 cup shortening, butter, sugar and vanilla on high speed until light and fluffy. Add the milk mixture and continue to beat for 4 more minutes. Spoon into the center of the cake and replace the layer sliced from the top.
• Combine the chocolate chips, 1/4 cup shortening, corn syrup and water in the top of a double boiler. Heat, stirring frequently until melted and smooth. Pour warm glaze over the top of the cake and smooth over the sides. Refrigerate until serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and spray two 9 inch cake pans generously with cooking spray. Place cake mix, eggs, oil, whipping cream, sour cream and pudding mix into a large mixing bowl or stand mixer. Beat until well combined. Cake mix will be thick. Divide batter between the two cake pans and bake for 25-28 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Remove pans from oven and let cool completely. Use a plastic knife to loosen edges of cake. When cool, flip pans to remove cakes. Use long serrated knife to cut top of one of the cakes if not straight. I removed a thin top layer to make bottom cake flat. Place flat cake on top of a cake stand.
• To prepare filling, place butter, marshmallow cream and vanilla into a large mixing bowl or stand mixer. Beat until smooth and well combined. Place most of filling on cake that's on the cake stand. Spread evenly, leaving a 1 inch border. Carefully top with second cake layer.
• To prepare ganache, place chocolate chips over a double boiler to melt. Stir until melted and smooth. Slowly stir in heavy cream until combined and smooth. Stir in corn syrup until smooth. For best results, let ganache cool for 10-15 minutes before pouring over cake. Stir often to keep smooth, I like my ganache to thicken slightly to make the best drips over the top of the cake.
• Carefully pour desired amount of ganache over top of cake letting some drip down sides. I had some extra ganache left over. Serve cake slices at room temperature.

DING DONG CAKE

Steps:

• 1. Prepare and bake cake as directed on box. (2 round cake pans) EXCEPT USE MILK INSTEAD OF WATER AND ADD ONE EXTRA EGG AND MELTED BUTTER INSTEAD OF OIL. Filling: Mix and cream the butter and cream cheese. Add powdered sugar 1 cup at a time and fold in cool whip. After cake is completely cooled split layers and spread filling on each layer and stack, do not spread filling all the way to the edge of the cake, the weight of the cake will press it out to the edge once you are finished, this keeps the filling from mixing with the icing. You can put a thick layer of filling between the layers, you'll have plenty so don't be stingy with it. (TIP: you can place the uncut cakes on plates in a freezer for about 30 minutes to make a cleaner cut) Then frost entire cake with the chocolate frosting. Keep refrigerated as the filling gets soft as it warms up and will ooze out the sides of the cake.
• 2. ok. for the record I tried the recipe using milk, extra egg and butter and while I liked it the day it was made the cake has dried out really bad since (the leftovers). Making the cake according to the box directions in the past and having leftovers.. this has not been a problem.

DING DONG CAKE

Steps:

• Bake cake and divide into layers (I used 9x13 pan, but you can do it in rounds and even do 4-6 layers). Bake according to package directions.
• Mix Crisco, cream, sugar, vanilla and salt well; then add powder sugar and mix all well.
• Spread filling between layers and frost entire cake with milk chocolate frosting.
• (Please don't substitute anything for the milk chocolate frosting--it tastes like candy and the other frostings don't).
