We love all of the chocolate cake in this household. It’s probably why we have so many delicious chocolate cake recipes! But let’s be real, who doesn’t love a good chocolate cake!?!
Well, this one is it, It is great! Every time I bring it somewhere I am constantly getting asked for the recipe because it is just that good!
The cake is very moist and the frosting divine! You truly will feel like you are eating a grown-up Hostess Ho Ho cake. You will have a hard time limiting yourself to one piece, and that’s okay, live a little! 😉
If you are like me and my family and always enjoy a good chocolate cake, let me give you a few more to try! For those late nights when you just need a treat, try our CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER MUG CAKE, or why not make up either our CHOCOLATE CARAMEL TOFFEE CRUNCH CAKE or our SNICKERS CAKE {GOOEY CARAMEL CHOCOLATE CAKE}. They are all fantastic!

Chocolate Ho Ho Cake Recipe
Ingredients
Cake:
- 1 (15.25 ounce) chocolate cake mix
- Ingredients called for on cake mix
Filling:
- 5 Tablespoons flour
- 1 cup half and half
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
Frosting:
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- ¼ cup butter (softened)
- ¾ cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- Make cake according to directions on package (or use your favorite homemade chocolate cake recipe). Let cake cool completely.
- In a medium saucepan, whisk flour into half and half over medium heat on stove top. Whisk constantly until very thick, similar to the consistency of thick pudding or custard- it will take a couple of minutes. Cool completely (place in refrigerator if you want to speed the cooling process). Stir in vanilla. In a mixing bowl, mix 1 cup softened butter and granulated sugar until fluffy. Add cooled flour/milk mixture to butter/sugar mixture and beat until light and fluffy (will take a couple of minutes). Spread on cooled cake.
- Dump chocolate chips in a bowl. Heat heavy cream and pour hot cream over chocolate. Let sit for a minute; stir gently to melt. Cream butter and powdered sugar in another bowl and then stir the two mixtures together. If you want it to be thicker, add more powdered sugar. If you want it to be thinner, add more whipping cream. Spread on cake immediately because the frosting starts to set up and become grainy in appearance if you let it sit for long.
