Ingredients

How to make Ding Dong Cake

• Whisk flour, salt, and sugar in a medium saucepan until well combined. Cup (200 g) granulated sugar, 5. Tablespoons (40 g) all-purpose flour, ¼ teaspoon salt Slowly add milk while whisking until smooth. Set stovetop heat to medium. Stir constantly over medium heat until pudding-like. A whisk should leave a trail through the ready mixture.
• Remove from heat and pour into a heatproof container. Apply wax paper directly to the surface. Leave to cool to room temperature while you make the cake. Preheat oven to 350F (175C) and line two 8-inch round cake pans with parchment paper and lightly grease and flour the sides. Mix flour, sugars, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl by hand or with a hand mixer or stand mixer with paddle attachment.
• Includes: 1 ¾ cups (205 g) all-purpose flour, 1 cup (200 g) brown sugar, 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar, 75 g natural cocoa powder, 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda, and ¾ teaspoon salt Stir in melted butter and oil until combined. Unsalted butter (113 g), neutral cooking oil (118 ml) Stir eggs, egg yolk, and vanilla extract into batter until combined. To ensure ingredients are mixed, scrape bowl sides and bottom.
• 2 large eggs + 1 yolk, 2 tsp vanilla Add buttermilk slowly and stir. Add hot coffee carefully! Stir until ingredients are well combined (don’t splash and burn). To ensure complete incorporation, scrape the bowl sides and bottom again. Spread batter evenly in prepared cake pans and bake at 350F (175C) for 33–35 minutes. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean or with moist crumbs.
• Cool cakes for 15 minutes before inverting onto a cooling rack to finish cooling before frosting. If the filling base is room temperature, you can finish making it while the cakes cool. After the filling base cools to room temperature, you can fill it. Beat the butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer or stand mixer with whisk or paddle attachment on high speed until light and fluffy.
• Unsalted butter, 1 cup Reduce mixer speed to medium and add base mixture one heaping spoonful at a time. Each spoonful should be fully mixed before adding the next. After adding all filling base mixture, scrape bowl sides and bottom with spatula and stir in vanilla extract. Slowly increase mixer speed to medium-high and whip frosting until smooth and airy. Remove air bubbles and deflate frosting with a spatula.
• Put it in the fridge for 10–20 minutes to firm up before assembling. Meanwhile, make ganache frosting. Mix chocolate and heavy cream in a medium microwave-safe bowl. 8 oz semi-sweet chocolate, 1 cup heavy whipping cream Turn on high microwave for 35 seconds. Stir well and microwave 25 seconds more. Whisk mixture until smooth. Repeat microwave for 25 seconds if not smooth. While making filling, stir ganache occasionally until spreadable.
• If needed, level cake layers with a cake leveler or sharp serrated knife. Place first layer on cake plate. Evenly cover the cake layer with filling. Put another cake layer on. Use an icing spatula to smooth the sides to prevent filling loss. Place cake in freezer for 10-15 minutes before spreading ganache frosting.
• Evenly cover cake and sides with cooled ganache. Cover the cake evenly with a spatula. Put frosting in fridge for 15 minutes to harden. Slice, serve, enjoy!
