What if...you made 2 layers of cake (split the batter into 2 pans), stuff it with the filling, then top the whole shebang with the frosting? Even make just a tad more filling 'cause there's never enough filling in a Ding Dong or a Hostess Cupcake! Think I'll give that a shot... Great idea, though, Catherine...as usual!
Love it when Thomas is standing there waiting for you to finish talking about your food !! He cracks me up ... He sure enjoys the food !! Keep feeding him good and giving us great recipes!👍👍
Hi Katherine, I'm a Ding Dong fanatic. Many years ago I was trying to tell my mother in law that I'm a Ding Dong lover, well the word lover never came out. I still don't hear the end of it to this day. LOL!!!! 😂😂😂
Sis and I used to make cakes for a bakery. Tip warm up your milk and butter in a pan. Warm milk hydrates the flour faster than cold or cool milk. Either use jumbo eggs or add an extra egg white. It will add moisture also. We made 90% of our cakes from scratch as the crumb from homemade is so much better and tender than box mix.
Would you like a hint to get your cake level with no hump in the middle or dry edges? My dad used to mold plastic foam parts at his job and they always put the molds (pans) on a vibrating table which shook it back and forth a very little and he would do a tapping up and down motion to get the wet material to level out and he taught me to do it with cakes, it levels and eliminates bubbles.
My first day of vacation and I made a homestyle german chocalate cake. My guys came home and said is that cake? I work so much I haven't baked since Thanksgiving. Ding Dongs are my favorite Hostess Treat.
I never even thought of this. This is fabulous & everyone in my house wants me to make it for them. Thanks Catherine, you’ve out done yourself again 🥰💞💋
Oh my goodness,I have all the ingredients will beaking this 👌❤ thanks again Catherine.. my question is how do you come up with these wonderful recipes ?❤
😲OMG, I positively love Ding Dongs, I put mine in the freezer sometimes too. You are the best Catherine when it comes to copycat recipes!! Can't wait to make this 😋😋😋😋😋
Iam new to your channel and have made a lot of your dishes for my husband who is stage 4 pancreatic and liver cancers and your dishes keep him eating for me . He loves ding dongs so I know he will love this cake looks amazing . Thank you for sharing you are such a sweet woman God bless you for all you do 🤗
We also have and use a copycat Suzy Q cake, which we love as well. Make, cut into serving pieces, flash freeze and wrap individually. Great summer snack/dessert.
My favorite glaze is to take a 1/4 cup of water and a 1/4 cup of sugar..put it in a saucepan and cook on medium heat till it fully boils. Remove from heat and add 1 cup of chocolate chips. Stir well. Super easy.
Hi Catherine. Another great recipe that I will try in the near future. TYSM! What I would like to ask you, what recipes you've tried that didn't turn out so good? What big mistakes you have made while cooking or baking? I've had my share of mistakes in cooking or baking!!! LOL!!!😳🤪
Hi Catherine! I grew up eating and loving Ding Dongs! Can't wait to make this. My question is: Where did you get that adorable tea pot lamp that sits on your counter? I love it!
Made the cake in a jelly roll pan. Roll immediately when warm, then cool. Unroll and spread filling. Reroll cake. Ice as directed. Makes beautiful pinwheel ding dong cake.
Looks yummy in my tummy thank you very much for sharing this recipe with all of us my question is 4 you who taught you how 2 cook all your amazing recipes do you have a cookbook 2 thank you very much happy Thursday and weekend
Oh wow, that is awesome! Thank you for sharing, Catherine ❤ will make this one for sure. I already made your recipe for twinkie cake twice, and my family loves that one.
This look so yummy !! It looks more like the Susie Q Hostess cake to me.. I'll give it a try.. My Sweet Daddy and my Grandchildren will enjoy this. Love from Indiana.
Hi Catherine, I'm a new subscriber here. I've been watching some of your videos. I am enjoying them but you got my full attention with "DING DONG" my all-time favorite. It looks awesome!! BEAUTIFUL!! Must try for sure. God bless
This has been one of my favorite videos you have done. I love how you describe everything so percisely. A person who never cooked anything could follow you very easily. You and your husband are so cute together. I am looking forward to your Q&A. My question is do you live in the south. You husband had a little southern drawl. Love your channel so much!

We thought about that very same thing, then decided to keep it simple. My husband agrees with you, there's never enough filling in a Ding Dong.
That sounds awesome!
I’m gonna try this with 2 layers and extra filling. Ohhhhhh I can’t wait!!!!!
Sounds great to me
Emmy makes it like that. It looks like a ding dong! I like this idea too if you're in a hurry. Like if children are watching you. Lol.😉
You are so blessed to have such a supportive and loving husband! Always cherish him! 🥰
Always.
He’s also quite blessed to have a lovely wife who bakes his favorite treats! ❤❤
Love it when Thomas is standing there waiting for you to finish talking about your food !! He cracks me up ... He sure enjoys the food !! Keep feeding him good and giving us great recipes!👍👍
LOL, He is a lot of fun to be with.
Hi Catherine! What a great idea! This would be a huge hit at any church potluck! =)

LOL!
That looks so good and you can tell he loved it, too... it even got him giggly and acting silly at the end giving you bunny ears! Haha
LOL! He always acts silly, he tells me life is to short to be all stuffy.
IM NOT USUALLY INTO CHOCOLATE, but love ding dongs! Coffee hour group will be asking for me to make this again!! Tom’s expression is priceless!! I’m

I've made the raspberry zinger cake several times and it is spot on with looks and flavor. Yum!
Did Catherine make a raspberry zinger cake recipe video? I didn’t see one on her page. Sounds yummy! Thanks. 😊👍 ~Sharon
@@GradeBmoviefan I would love to see that. Those were my favorite cakes.
Ohhh, We should definitely try that!
Where's the recipe? One of my all time favorite treats!
Omg! I was craving those last night!
Unfortunately they're kinda hard to find even in a city of over a million ppl!
Looks yummy! I’ll certainly be trying this. Thanks, Carol
I love your videos. You are so calm and kind.
I'm definitely making this for hubby.
Thanks!!

Oooh girl-yum! I’ve only seen this as a rolled cake, but your sheet cake style looks so much easier! 🙌🏻
I’d make that because I don’t have to roll it. I just get to look at it and eat it.
It's super easy, and so yummy.
@@CatherinesPlates Thanks, Catherine.
Yummo, thx a bunch, another goody I can't wait to try!!!
I made this with 3 layers. It was delicious! It went quickly. I try each Thanksgiving to add a new dessert , I added that. Everyone loved it.

Made this for church potluck last month and it was a hit! Thank you.
I think making a chocolate ganache to pour over the cake would make it closer to a ding dong
I agree! I make a Funny Bone dupe (peanut butter filling, chocolate cake) with ganache for frosting. Hubby’s favorite chocolate cake ever!
Great looking cake, will have to try
Looks absolutely delicious!!!

We were going to make it look like a Ding Dong but decided to keep it simple.
That looks incredible!
The cake box said 1/2cup of oil not a 1/3 cup. I went by your recipe and it turned out great!
Wonderful!
I was all with it until the icing. Needs a homemade icing instead. But will make it for my granddaughter when she comes in 2 weeks.
My family has been enjoying many of your meals & sweets. Thank you! Q&A-is there any type of food you will just not try/eat?? ❤️
