Oh my, this layered ho ho cake is unbeatable. One of my favorite treats is Hostess ho hos. There’s something about that rich chocolate ganache, thin layer as it may be!, covering the rich chocolate cake, wrapped around a cream filling. Makes for a yummy treat and throws me back into the school lunchroom days. They have become a family favorite since I married my husband, and we like to pop them in the freezer for an hour or two before indulging. 🙂 Of course, a ho ho is very similar to a Little Debbie Swiss cake roll. In my mind, they’re about interchangeable haha.

I figured I could make a homemade version of this and turn it into a birthday cake! I contemplated using a jelly roll pan or a baking sheet cake pan, as we have lots of good sheet cakes on our blog!! But I couldn’t get away from making a layered version. A layer of cake, with a huge layer of fluffy white frosting cream, topped with a thick layer of chocolate ganache…. This is what I needed. So I baked it in 2 round 8″ cake pans. You do have to have a sweet tooth to enjoy this cake. haha. I find that more people do have a sweet tooth than don’t.
For some sheet cake ideas, these ones are amazing:
Chocolate Zucchini Sheet Cake
Chocolate Peanut Butter Sheet Cake

The cream filling is what really makes this layered ho ho cake amazing. It is a mix of marshmallow and buttercream and is so heavenly.

There’s a lot of delicious chocolate cake recipes out there, but I used a little bit of a shortcut for this recipe and started with a box mix. I tweaked it a bit and added some coffee to make a moist chocolate cake that is rich and decadent. The best way to get a rich dark chocolate cake is to add in some coffee.

I mixed my cake batter in a large bowl and divided it between two 8″ round cake pans. *Quick tip: I allowed the cakes to cool completely, wrapped them in plastic wrap and stuck them in the freezer until the day of the party. Freezing the baked, leveled cakes, makes it so easy to layer the cake together with the cream and ganache. You do not need to allow them to come to room temperature to layer them, just work with each cake layer while it is still frozen!

Ingredients needed:
For the cake:
- I box, chocolate cake mix
- strong brewed coffee
- oil
- eggs
For the filling:
- butter
- marshmallow fluff
- heavy cream
- powdered sugar
- vanilla extract
For the ganache:
- Semisweet chocolate chips
- heavy whipping cream
How to make this cake:
Once your cakes are baked and leveled out, mix up that cream filling. Just beat it on medium speed until it is all combined and fluffy. Make your ganache and then get ready to assemble.
You’ll want to spread a nice thick layer of cream on the top side of your bottom layer of cake.
Put the next layer of cake on top of the filling. Refrigerate for about 30 min, so it takes the ganache well.
When it has chilled for a bit, spread a thin layer of ganache over the top of the cake and then on the sides. Put back in the refrigerate for another 15-20 minutes. This will help seal in any crumbs. Then add another thicker layer of ganache over the entire cake, smoothing as best you can.
For best results, keep chilled until it is time to serve.
