HERSHEYS CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH CREAM CHEESE FILLING & CHOCOLATE CREAM CHEESE BUTTERCREAM RECIPE - (3.8/5)

Steps:

• Hersheys Chocolate Cake First, preheat your oven to 350F. Spray 3 round cake pans with cooking spray Dust the pans lightly with flour, set aside. In a Large mixing bowl or kitchenaid mixer combine the Flour, Hersheys cocoa, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and the salt. Add in the milk, oil, eggs and the vanilla extract & mix until everything is thoroughly incorporated. Once all combined, stir in the boiling water last; mix again, the batter will be very thin. Pour the batter evenly in each of the sprayed/floured cake pans Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of each layer comes out clean. Once fully baked, remove from oven & allow the 3 cakes to cool for at least 10-15 minutes before removing them. Once removed, transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling completely. I always use a cake leveler to make sure the layers are even, you can also use a serrated knife While they finish cooling, prepare your frostings. Whipped Cream Cheese Buttercream Frosting Instructions Whip the cream cheese & the butter with an electric mixer on high speed for about 30 seconds. Once combined begin adding in 1/2 cup of powdered sugar at time, making sure each half cup is fully incorporated before mixing in another 1/2 cup., add in the vanilla extract & whip one last time for about 30 more seconds on high and beat one minute more until nice & fluffy Chocolate Cream Cheese Buttercream Frosting Inctructions In a large bowl beat the butter & cream cheese with an electric mixer and begin adding in the powdered sugar 1/2 cup at a time again add in the cocoa and the milk & vanilla Whip all of the ingredients until they are thoroughly incorporated Beat at High speed for about one minute or until fluffy.
