DING DONG CAKE



Ding Dong Cake image

From a site called I Am Baker and just that different from others on this site. This cake is one of those cakes that works perfectly as one. The ganache on its own is a bit bitter (when using semi-sweet chocolate), the filling is light and wonderful but does not stand alone like a pudding or sweet frosting, and the cake is just chocolate perfection. But these three elements work together in perfect harmony. this filling is also known as an Ermine frosting. This frosting has a few extra steps compared to a traditional American buttercream, but the result is well worth it. Subtle and creamy, it is the PERFECT filling for this beyond rich cake.

Time 1h

Yield 1 Layered Cake, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups granulated sugar
3/4 cup good unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup buttermilk, room temperature
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 extra-large eggs, room temperature
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 cup freshly brewed hot coffee
5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup butter
1 cup granulated sugar
16 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped fine can use milk chocolate
2 cups heavy cream, room temperature

Steps:

  • CHOCOLATE CAKE.
  • Sift the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt into the bowl and mix until combined.
  • In another bowl, combine the buttermilk, oil, eggs, and vanilla.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer on low speed, slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry. With mixer still on low, add the coffee and stir just to combine, scraping the bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula.
  • Pour the batter into two 8-inch x 3-inch round prepared pans and bake for 30-40 minutes at 350°F, until a cake tester or toothpick comes out mostly clean (not wet).
  • Cool in the pans for 30 minutes, then turn them out onto a cooling rack and cool completely.
  • FILLING.
  • Pour cold milk into a small saucepan. Before turning on the heat, whisk in flour so no lumps remain.
  • Turn heat on to medium-low and heat until mixture is thick, like a roux, stirring the whole time.
  • Remove from heat, stir in vanilla and let cool completely.
  • Cream together butter and sugar on medium-high speed, until fluffy, about 8 minutes.
  • Add in the milk mixture and beat again until mixture resembles a whipped cream.
  • GANACHE.
  • Heat the heavy cream in a quart-sized, microwavable container and microwave for 3 to 4 minutes on high, or until it just begins to simmer. Be careful not to allow the cream to boil over. Pour the cream over the chopped chocolate and let stand for at least 2 minutes so that it can thicken.
  • (Ganache should be cool when pouring over cake).
  • When ready to pour over chilled cake, whisk the ganache until smooth and then pour. You may have some ganache left over.
  • NOTE: The batter is very runny and it is designed to be made in two 8-inch round cake pans. . If you prefer you can use 9-inch round cake pans but the layers will not be as thick.

DING DONG MOUSSE



Ding Dong Mousse image

A positively lethal recipe from Hostess to satisfy any sweet tooth. I used Cool Whip for the "whipped cream" and a 4.37 oz box of Chocolate Caramel Chip Jell-o instant pudding. Other flavors of pudding would probably work well too. Refrigeration time is not included, so make this at least one hour ahead. With a little supervision, this would be a wonderful dessert that your kids could make.

"LIGHT" DING DONG CAKE



A lightened up version (if there can be one) of Ding Dong Cake that I found in Illinois Country Living. My family likes it for a twist on our usual rotation of chocolate desserts. :) Prep time does not include refrigeration although it does not take long since you use instant pudding.

Ding Dong Pudding is a popular dessert among people all around the world. It's essentially a chocolate pudding filled with cream and covered in a layer of ganache. While there are numerous variations of this dessert, the core recipe remains the same.

History of Ding Dong Pudding

The origin of this pudding can be traced back to the United States in the late 1950s. The makers of Hostess created a new product called the Ding Dong, which was a chocolate cake with a cream filling. This product was an instant hit and soon became an iconic snack among people of all ages. Due to its immense popularity, variations of the Ding Dong were created, including the Ding Dong Pudding. This dessert quickly gained widespread popularity and has remained a favorite among chocolate lovers since then.

Ingredients

To make the classic Ding Dong Pudding, you will need the following ingredients:
  • 1 cup of chocolate chips
  • 1 cup of heavy cream
  • 2 cups of milk
  • 1 cup of sugar
  • 1/2 cup of flour
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tsp. of vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp. of salt
For the ganache, you will need the following ingredients:
  • 1 cup of chocolate chips
  • 1/2 of heavy cream

Instructions

To make this delicious dessert, follow these steps:
  1. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the chocolate chips and heavy cream until smooth. Set aside.
  2. In a separate saucepan, whisk together the milk, sugar, flour, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 10 minutes.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate mixture until well combined.
  4. Pour the mixture into individual serving dishes and chill in the refrigerator until set, about 2 hours.
  5. To make the ganache, heat the heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add the chocolate chips, stirring until melted and smooth.
  6. Let the ganache cool for a few minutes, then pour it over the chilled pudding. Place back in the refrigerator to set for an additional 30 minutes.
  7. Serve chilled.

Variations

While the classic Ding Dong Pudding is delicious on its own, there are a few variations that you can try to switch things up.
Strawberry Ding Dong Pudding
To make this variation, substitute the chocolate chips with strawberry-flavored chips and add a layer of sliced strawberries on top of the ganache.
Caramel Ding Dong Pudding
To make this variation, substitute the ganache with caramel sauce and sprinkle chopped nuts on top before serving.
Vanilla Ding Dong Pudding
To make this variation, omit the chocolate chips and heavy cream from the recipe and add 2 tsp. of vanilla extract to the pudding mixture instead.

Conclusion

Ding Dong Pudding is a delicious dessert that is perfect for chocolate lovers. Whether you prefer the classic recipe or one of the variations, this pudding is sure to be a crowd-pleaser at your next dinner party or gathering.
Ding Dong pudding is a delightful dessert that many people enjoy for its sweet and rich flavor. There are many Ding Dong pudding recipes available, but not all of them are created equally. Whether you're new to making pudding or just need some helpful tips, this article will provide you with valuable advice to make the perfect Ding Dong pudding every time.

Tip 1: Choose the right ingredients

To ensure that your Ding Dong pudding tastes as delicious as possible, it's essential to use quality ingredients. When selecting your ingredients, avoid using cheap or expired products. You'll need high-quality cream, milk, sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and vanilla extract.
Cream
For the best flavor and texture, use heavy cream rather than regular milk. Heavy cream is thicker and richer, giving the dessert a creamy, silky consistency. Low-fat options won't produce the same depth of flavor and may not thicken as well.
Milk
Whole milk is the best option for Ding Dong pudding, as it provides a balance between richness and creaminess while still being light enough to let the other flavors shine through.
Sugar
Use granulated white sugar, and make sure it's fresh. Old, clumpy sugar can affect the texture of your pudding and may give it an undesirable flavor.
Cocoa powder
Look for high-quality unsweetened cocoa powder. Cheap cocoa powder may be bitter or have an off-taste, so don't skimp on this ingredient.
Cornstarch
Cornstarch is a necessary ingredient that thickens the pudding. Avoid using flour or other substitutes, as they will not produce the same smooth texture.
Vanilla extract
Vanilla extract provides a comforting, familiar flavor to Ding Dong pudding. Use real vanilla extract rather than artificial flavorings for the best taste.

Tip 2: Patience is key

Ding Dong pudding needs time to cook and set correctly. Do not rush the process, or you'll end up with a lumpy or thin pudding. Be patient and allow the pudding to simmer and thicken naturally. Give yourself enough time to make the pudding, let it chill for a few hours or overnight, and then enjoy the results.

Tip 3: Cooking the pudding

Cooking ding dong pudding is a relatively simple process. Here's how to do it: 1. In a large saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cocoa powder, and cornstarch. 2. Gradually add the milk and cream, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. 3. Place the saucepan on medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally. 4. Once the mixture starts to thicken, continue to stir vigorously to prevent lumps. Use a whisk or spatula to scrape the bottom and sides of the pan to prevent burning. 5. Cook the pudding for 3-6 minutes, then remove it from the heat. 6. Stir in the vanilla extract. 7. Pour the pudding into a heat-proof bowl or individual servings dishes. 8. Place plastic wrap directly on the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming. 9. Chill the pudding in the refrigerator for at least 2-3 hours or overnight, depending on your preference.

Tip 4: Presentation is everything

When serving your Ding Dong pudding, presentation is key. You can decorate the pudding with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or fresh berries. For an extra-special touch, serve the pudding in individual glasses or jars, alternating layers of pudding with whipped cream or crushed Ding Dong cakes.

Conclusion

Making Ding Dong pudding from scratch can seem daunting, but with the right ingredients, patience, and technique, you can create a delicious dessert that will impress your friends and family. Don't forget to choose high-quality ingredients, be patient when cooking, and take care when presenting the pudding. These useful tips will help ensure that your Ding Dong pudding comes out perfectly every time.
