This cake is so absolutely amazing! I’ve made it once a few weeks back and today I’m making one for my wife to take to work for Valentines Day tomorrow! Definitely a once a month cake, I think! It’s fabulous! Moist! So full of flavor. I just can’t say enough about how delicious it is! ❤
Omg! Made this cake today, and it is delicious! Followed the recipe exactly. It was time-consuming, but totally worth it! I’ll definitely be making this again.
THE only thing I've come up with for the TIME CONSUMING part of making home made is to measure the day before and prepare the pans as well. At my age, it all gets overwhelming, cleaning up and putting things away..
@@lllowkee6533Yes, I kind of did that earlier this week when I made it again. I made the cake the night before, wrapped it tightly in plastic wrap after cooling, put it in the fridge, and did the rest the next day. It worked much better for me, not only time wise, but the filling and ganache were easier to apply, since the cake was cold from the fridge. Took it to work and everyone loved it.
This flour frosting was almost the same as the original white frosting recipe I was given with the first RED VELVET RECIPE in in 1965.! When I showed it to my mother she said her oldest sister used to make similar flour icing in the 1930 s , it was the only ingredients they had. Sugar, flour, butter. They didn’t even have cocoa until after WW II. Enjoyed watching this show. ! Thanks .
You're welcome! Thanks for watching and sharing your story. It's always interesting to hear these kinds of things. I couldn't even imagine how it would be to only have sugar, flour, and butter. It's crazy! :)
We're so lucky , so far!!?? My family had molasses and honey during War II when sugar was rationed and scarce, esp in the Appalachian mountains .Mother said they were NEVER hungry as many were..bc they grew everything. @@SugarSpunRun
I have read many times that ermine frosting was the OG with red velvet cake. Not sure when cream cheese frosting came to crash the party, but boy, she sure became popular with red velvet. On the rare occasion I make red velvet, I too go with the OG ermine frosting.
You sold me! I love how you scrap the bowls, explain why you want, for example, room temp eggs, & you still keep it real! Looks delicious & I will try making this! Thank you from a new subscriber ;)
New to your channel, but I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed your style. Very clear, you explain what to know and do for each step and one can also clearly follow along visually. Thanks for this video!
I am sure this will be amazing. My favorite frosting has always been ermine frosting. I like the texture when chilled and that it seems less sweet to me. Can't wait to give this a try.
I make this ermine frosting for my salted peanut cake. Oddly enough, the recipe calls for almond flavoring in the frosting. Together with the peanut flavor of the cake, it’s a little slice of heaven. One of my most favorite cakes ever. Another is Kentucky Butter Cake.
Wow! Wow! Wow! I am in love with your videos. It started when I looked up a lemon blue berry cake recipe when I fell upon your recipe. It led me to your recipe for a lighter version of cream cheese frosting, to your fluffy lemon cake, to your lemon curd, to this ding dong cake and its ermine frosting. You are a wealth of information. You speak to the ingredients and methods of how they should be used and why. And, by the way, I LOVE LOVE LOVE how you always scrape every last bit out of bowls or pots. I do the same. Bonus.... I appreciate how you use a hand held mixer (primarily because I don't own a stand mixer.) Continue the good work. I wish you boundless success. Fan for life, Mara
You’ve basically made my *favorite* cake for *everything!* (minus the ganache.. I want all buttercream!!) Even the buttercream is basically how I’ve made mine for many decades now. Love*Love*Love it too❣️
This looks like a perfect giant size of one of my favorite treats! Also it’s wonderful to see someone besides me using parchment paper instead of plastic wrap on top of a filling, custard, etc. Anywhere we can cut down on 1 time use plastic is great. Thank you for this and an amazing recipe!!❤️❤️
She said it was WAX PAPER , not parchment. ?? Because , don’t bake biscuits on WAX PAPER, I mistakenly did that one morning when my grown children had come home for Christmas and asked for biscuits. The wax melted into the biscuits!😢😵
Yes I did hear her say wax paper but I'm hoping she meant parchment. 😊 Like you I used wax paper because the recipe said to. This was in the mid 1980's. It was a recipe for the sponge for a pumpkin roll. I never liked the results and was so happy to discover parchment paper! 😄
@@alliw1276 I put almost everything on parchment paper. I line broiler pan with aluminum foil, then parchment to roast chicken or bacon or anything.... Thankfully, it isn't hard to find any longer.!!! BUT , we may get out of everything now if the wars get worse or we dont get a new president!
I posted THREE comments and in one of them I noted how much I ENJOYED THIS VIDEO ....but THANKS for stopping by to shame me! The discussion started bc she said WAX PAPER in the delightful video so I'm still not sure if she meant wax or parchment..... which are NOT the same thing ?! @@alliw1276
Sam, you are the cutest! When I was a kid, those lil chocolate cakes were called Ring Dings. This cake looks delicious and I’ll be sure to try my best to bake one for my spouses birthday. Boy will he be surprised! (assuming it comes out good). Feel free to make a Twinkie cake next. I’ll be looking forward to that.
I’m from back east, NYC area. We had Drake’s cakes, and this snack was called a Ring Ding. There was a no-icing version called Yankee Doodle, my personal favorite. The rolled up version (Swiss cake) was a Yodel.
Thanks! I can't wait to try. I will do so for a 3 year old grand baby birthday cake...the baby will destroy, ha but the adults will love the adult version. Thanks again from Getting cold Utah❤🎉
I also made a Ding Dong Cake! Followed your recipe on Wednesday and we cut into it last night. Truly a superb dessert. The cake is fudgy and decadent - mmm. And the filling blew me away. Making it was a first for me although I make a lot of thick sauces, etc., for other foods. It is so light and smooth like whipped cream. Fantastic. So much better than an actual Ding Dong. Your instructions are terrific. I watched the video through a couple of times then paused/started while I followed along in the kitchen. It was fun! And after a day of work very therapeutic. The Grinch Cookies are on my list. I'm envious of the fresh eggs!😎
Ok, I don’t remember how many holidays you said you were going to make this cake for, but I think I’m going to add on a few more!!! I can’t wait to make this cake!!! Thank you so much for this recipe!!! Have a great weekend!!!!!!!
I made this today, mostly because I wanted to taste the filling, so I used a box devil’s food cake as a shortcut. It was fantastic! Ganache was really good, but the filling really took it over the top. Next time I’ll make it as cupcakes and inject the filling inside.
You are So Creative and I every step is essential for the finished Ding Dong Cake to be perfect! Thank you for sharing and demonstrating how it's done like a Pro so Beautifully!
One of the best cakes I've made❤! The recipes are always sound! Thanks so much. This was my first time making ermine frosting and I love the texture and taste.
Your Ding Dong cake looks absolutely delicious!!! Trying to think of a reason to make it, so I can give it a taste myself😄 Maybe we'll have to have Ding Dong cake and pumkin pie for dessert for Thanksgiving!
I've been making a giant Ding Dong cake for many years now and people like it so much they place orders for it. It is cool to see a version of it surface on TH-cam. Thanks for sharing!!
Oh my goodness, I ate my fair share of Ding Dongs as a kid, along with Funny Bone and other sweet treats! I have a sweet tooth that just wont quit! I can just taste it this and I will be making this recipe for sure! TFS!
My an amazing old-time favorite. You made this look effortless. I'm an aspiring Baker (my niche) and can't wait to try it. If it is a fraction as good as it looks then I'm in for a real treat. Thnx 4 sharing. Sugar Spun.👍🏾😉💜🍰
I will try this on Dec.29 for my Birthday cake❤this will be my first ever birthday cake i hope i bake it perfectly and delicious as your ding dong cake🙏🏻
Oh my goodness! That looks absolutely delicious! I'm going to have to try it for the next birthday and our family. I'll be sure to share the photo with you
Gotta try this…. I’ve never made cake by scratch…. I always use the box cake mix…. But it’s time to up my game ….. thanks for all the tips about temps and the reason behind them !
8 in the morning checking my cabinets to see if I have everything to make this now. 😂❤
🤣 I hope you love it! :)
It’s a favorite of mine ❤. I’d ordered one similar years ago for my birthday. Now I can use your recipe. Thank you.
@@SugarSpunRunyou iî😮o😮
😅
Same…. As I’m going to Walmart later …. I just need a few items !!!
This cake is so absolutely amazing! I’ve made it once a few weeks back and today I’m making one for my wife to take to work for Valentines Day tomorrow! Definitely a once a month cake, I think! It’s fabulous! Moist! So full of flavor. I just can’t say enough about how delicious it is! ❤
I'm so glad you are enjoying it so much! :)
I can tell already, even before making your "Ding-Dong" cake. It will be far better than the "original" version. Looks delicious!
Omg! Made this cake today, and it is delicious! Followed the recipe exactly. It was time-consuming, but totally worth it! I’ll definitely be making this again.

Knowing I can have the ding-dong experience without the preservatives mucking the taste up sounds heavenly.
Definitely going to try.

Thank you so much for the kind words, so happy to have you here! ☺️
I don't make cakes or pies, but I'd pay top money for one of these already baked. ⬆
I grew up calling them Ring Dings…ugh loved them
Me too!
There are both Ring Dings and Ding Dongs…2 different manufacturers. I’ve eaten them both.😊
Ring dings were so big and then they made Ring Ding Jr's,,, Smaller ones in foil, Remember??? Those were the best Day's...
@@lorenlal yessss!!! Oh man I miss that.. i do remember.I also remember collecting the foil wrappers from Yodels!! I wanna go back there so bad! Lol
We called them King Dongs. 😅
I am sure this will be amazing. My favorite frosting has always been ermine frosting. I like the texture when chilled and that it seems less sweet to me. Can't wait to give this a try.
I hope you love it! :)
I can't imagine anyone not liking this! Chocolate, ermine frosting filling, ganache topping, what's not to love?

Thank you so much, Mara! I am so grateful for your support and I am so happy to hear that you've enjoyed everything so much! :)
Hi Sam! Quick question... For the ermine frosting/filling, can I use half & half instead of whole milk? It's what I have on hand. Thx.
Thank you for this "Ding-Dong" delicious recipe that I can't wait to try! Thanks for all you do for this channel!
You’ve basically made my *favorite* cake for *everything!* (minus the ganache.. I want all buttercream!!) Even the buttercream is basically how I’ve made mine for many decades now. Love*Love*Love it too❣️
That cake looks absolutely delicious and equally important you did a superb job explaining each step in making it.

A Twinkie cake sounds amazing, and something that my husband would love!

Ring Dings were better. I have only found them in one store where I live.
I am absolutely making this cake this weekend!! Thanks Sam!! You're the best!!!
Thank you! I hope you love it! :)
I've made this for my daughter's birthday. It was heavenly!
I'm so glad everyone enjoyed it! :)

I bet it would be wonderful as cupcakes, too! Yum!
Looks really good! I always add coffee to my chocolate cakes. It enhances the chocolate flavor really well.
You are a very good teacher you don’t drag on and on easy to follow. I will try looks tasty
Thanks so much 😊
