This cake is delicious! It is not overly sweet which is PERFECT for us! I am making it for the second time this week! Followed the recipe to a tee both times- it is so well written and easy to follow. Thanks for a delicious recipe!

I too used a 9″ cake pans, but left recipe the same and it turned out great! I did cook cakes approx 31 minutes, so a bit less. Made it for my husband’s birthday at his request and everyone LOVED it. It takes a long time to make, but thought it was worth the work. LOVE that you list the ingredients after each step so you don’t have to keep going back up to the recipe and the video was also helpful.

This was absolutely delicious. It does taste just like the Ding Dongs, King Dongs, or King Dons (all the same). I would eat boxes of those when I was younger.
I used a 9″ cake pan but used 1 1/2 recipe except for the frosting. It came out perfect. I will be making this for sure! Thanks for the recipe

Made this beautiful cake for a birthday party. It took a little time, but was absolutely worth it. One of the best homemade cakes I’ve every made. If you are going to try it, be sure to follow all the directions as written. Thank you Sam!!

Hi Mark! We don’t recommend using more oil or margarine. Vegan butter might work though, but we really can’t say for sure without trying it ourselves. If you try it, let us know how it goes for you 😊

Hi Sam,
If I’m trying to keep this dairy free, would you suggest margarine or oil to replace the butter in the cake and/or frosting? Or do you feel it’s essential here and I should find another recipe:)?

I’m in the process of making the cake and wondered if I can make the filling the day before and refrigerate?

In reply to Carolyn.

Hi Carolyn! Definitely, just note that the cakes will need to bake for less time (I’d suspect about 27-30 minutes).

Incredible, outstanding, delicious, simply perfect. The chocolate cake is moist and dense and rich. The creamy middle is sweet, thick, and the perfect complement to the chocolate cake. Lastly, the chocolate ganache literally the icing on the cake. If you are a chocaholic, this is your addiction fix. This will be a cake that I will make for the rest of my life.

I made this for my son’s 5th birthday yesterday and wow! This chocolate cake is perfection. I have made many chocolate cake recipes and this is the best! Sooo moist but still light. I used espresso powder and hot water in place of the hot coffee. Love the ermine frosting/filling as well! This is my go to chocolate cake recipe from now on! Thanks!!

Made this for my 13 year old son’s birthday today. It is absolutely divine! I’m not a huge chocolate lover, but this is incredible! Ermine frosting is my favorite. The cake was moist, both the filling and the ganache frosting were silky smooth. Perfection! My son was very happy.

Turned out exactly like yours! Made it for my elderly father’s birthday – he loved it! Thank you 🙂
