Droolworthy moist, rich chocolate cakes that will transport you back to your childhood!
As a kid did you ever eat ding dongs?
No, I’m not calling you a ding dong… I’m just asking if you had ever eaten one of these chocolate moist cakes filled with a marshmallow frosting glazed in a chocolate ganache…
So I ask again have you ever eaten a ding dong? 🙂
My grandmother used to always have these little packaged delights for an after school snack. My cousin and I used to delight in knowing that after school we would be greeted with these and would rush home off the bus. When we got down to the last pack in the box we would fight over who would get it and then would have to share it because my grandmother would make us…
Fast forward to many years later, my kids have now begun to have a sweet obsession with the same sweet treats. Now we all know how much my daughter loves to bake and we decided to make these from scratch.
I think it was one of the best decisions we ever made… {one of many of course ;-)}
Now let’s just say that making these ding dongs {I laugh every time I say the name}, are real easy to make but takes some time to make them… so on long lazy day they are perfect.
I have made these in individual servings and a whole cake but them individually are sooooooooooooo much better!
If you make any of our recipes, share them on instagram or twitter be sure to tag me @thatssoyummy and use the hashtag #thatssoyummy! I love seeing your photos!

Yes! I lived on these things as a kid (probably not a good thing, lol). I love that you have recreated this childhood treat!

Well … the answer to your question is no, I haven’t ever had a Ding-Dong. But I have had the similar Hostess Cupcakes (that’s what I grew up on and loved) … and these look delightfully similar!

These are so stinking cute. I could eat these every day. These are perfect for V-Day but also for birthdays, anniversaries and so many other options.
