Instructions
Cake Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line two 9 inch springform pans with parchment paper and spray with pam baking spray.
- Using a standing mixer, combine the cake mix, vanilla pudding, eggs, canola oil, and water and mix until combined.
- Divide batter between the two springform pans and bake in the oven for 35-45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean in the center.
- Once baked, allow the cakes to cool completely on a wire rack.
Frosting Directions:
- Grate the Hershey chocolate bars and set aside.
- Using a standing mixer, beat the cream cheese and sugar for 5-10 minutes until combined. Gradually beat in the powdered sugar until smooth.
- Fold in the cool whip, pecan chips, and grated chocolate. Mix until combined.
- Using a cake slicer, slice the two cakes into two layers each. You should have a total of 4 layers.
Chocolate Ganache Directions:
- Using a small sauce pan, heat up the heavy whipping cream until slightly simmering.
- Place the chocolate chips into a heat proof bowl.
- Pour the hot whipping cream into the bowl with the chocolate chips and whisk until smooth.
- Pour ganache into a squeeze bottle and set aside.
Cake Decorating Directions:
- Place one of the cake layers onto the cake board.
- Scoop two cups of the frosting onto the top of the cake. Smooth with a knife.
- Place the second layer onto the top of the first. Scoop another cup of frosting onto the cake and smooth.
- Repeat steps with the last two cake layers.
- Once the layers are stacked frost the cake with the remaining frosting.
- Using the chocolate ganache, drizzle around the top edge of the cake that way it drips down. Cover the top of the cake with the remaining chocolate ganache.
- Set aside so that the ganache can cool.
Chocolate frosting directions:
- Using a standing mixer, beat together the butter, cocoa, powdered sugar, vanilla and heavy whipping cream until smooth and thick.
- Add in a few tbsp of heavy whipping cream to thin out your frosting if its to thick.
- Scoop frosting into the piping bag. Pipe dollops of frosting around the top of the cake.
- Place Hershey bars on alternating dollops of frosting.
- Sprinkle the chocolate sprinkles onto the dollops of frosting that don't have a Hershey bar.
