I am so excited to be working with The Hershey Company again.

The HERSHEY’S Brand has always been a part of my life, particularly HERSHEY’S KISSES Chocolates. My grandma always had them sitting in a bowl on her entryway table and I remember sneaking way more than my fair share starting at an early age. Chocolate has always been my go-to treat and the silkiness of HERSHEY’S KISSES Chocolates milk chocolate really hits the spot!

My kids are no different! They LOVE chocolate and I often discover that they have found my hidden stash somewhere :) My daughter is a girl after my own heart and requested we make a chocolate cake for her birthday last month.

She loves to help me bake and couldn’t wait to get in the kitchen with me to make her this beautiful cake! The ingredient list is super simple and uses ingredients you probably have in your pantry already.

Baking is huge passion of mine and any opportunity I am able to bake with my kids is a cherished time in my life. Seeing my children’s face light up when they create something in the kitchen is priceless.

We had this cake for her birthday party with our family and she was ecstatic to get to eat it!

This cake is so moist and packed with chocolate in every bite.

A little secret my mom taught me- if you want an EXTRA moist cake, after the cake has cooled completely, wrap the cake completely in plastic wrap and let it sit like that for a few hours until you are ready to frost. Trust me, this little trick is life changing and you won’t believe the difference! ;)

The Cream Cheese Frosting on top really takes this cake over the top and is the perfect finishing touch and the HERSHEY’S KISSES Chocolates really add a nice hidden bite of extra chocolate in little pockets throughout the cake.

    The cake looks amazing and I love the cakebox mix shortcut.
    Question, what do you mean to wrap the cake in plastic? As in saran wrap?

    1. Chef in Training

      yes :)

      I have always wrapped my cakes (even plain old cake mix cakes and from scratch wedding cakes) tight in plastic wrap immediately after removing from the oven. People always compliment on how moist my cakes are...and never believe me when I tell them to just wrap it up! It's TOTALLY the best secret!

      BTW...thanks for this wonderful recipe! I will be making this for Thanksgiving this year!

  2. Cindi

    Hi Nikki, this looks so chocolatey! Am definitely making, such a nice presentation to! Thanks

  3. Judy Uhl

    Can I use a vanilla buttercream frosting with this?

    This cake was beyond amazing!! First, super easy to make. Even piping the cream cheese frosting was no big deal. Outside of the ease, which is a bonus, it was better than bakery quality. So moist and delicious. The entire family loved it. My husband said I outdid myself. Seriously, thanks to this cake, I am a dessert hero!! Thanks for sharing this fabulous cake recipe. It went to quick for me to grab a pic and tag it, but there will definitely be a next time for this cake. A million thank yous!!

  5. Kimberly

    This looks AMAZING! Can't wait to try it out. I have one question what size tip and brand did you use for your icing?

  6. Susan

    This cake is so moist and yummy! The cream cheese frosting is just perfect. Love it! Now I am going to try these as cupcakes!

    I made this cake recently and it ways really good!

  8. Theresa Latham

    I'm not sure I understand, do I push the kiss down in the cake or just let it sit on top and it melts down into the cake?

    1. Chef in Training

      just set them on top, they will sink into the cake as it bakes :)

  9. Misty

    I am making this now for my daughter's 3rd birthday! One question, I noticed your recipe for cream cheese frosting does not require any butter. Does the cake need to be refrigerated?

  10. Brittany

    Made this for thanksgiving and the WHOLE family loved it!

  11. Rosanne Mandala

    Made this cake today for Thanksgiving. It was amazing. I made homemade mocha buttercream frosting instead. Cannot believe how moist it was. Will definitely make again.

    Made this cake for Thanksgiving and it was so easy. Everyone loved it, several people had seconds and thirds. Thanks a bunch for the recipe

  13. Darinka

    This looks amazing and I want to bake it for Christmas. What size bundt pan did you use? The one I have looks smaller than yours and I want to make sure the batter doesn't overflow.. thanks

    1. Chef in Training

      I believe its just a standard bunt pan, I believe 12 cups.

  14. Donna

    I made the cake, followed all directions and the kisses came out of the cake. They didn't melt all the way. What did I do wrong? P.S. I am not a baker. Lo!

  15. Jozie

    It came out remarkable! Maybe not as pretty but it's the taste that counted to my crew!

  17. Kaye burns

    What size cake mix. They change sizes every week it seems.

    1. Chef in Training

      I used a 15.25 ounce cake mix :) So sorry for the delay

  18. Shannon

    Made this to take to a friends cottage this weekend. Forgot to take pics, but it was awesome. I was surprised at how far down the Hershey's Kisses fell into the batter. And your tip of wrapping it in plastic wrap really works.

    1. margie

      did you wrap it in the pan or after it came out of the pan????

    2. Chef in Training

      After it comes out of the pan

    3. margie

      Hey, TY. I did find you answer in you instructions above. So I wrapped it after it cooled last night and I am frosting ti now for tomorrow. I will let you know how it goes, which I'm sure will be a success! TY again!

      Margie PS thanks for the quick response!!!

  20. Mary Saliba

    What size cakemix? 15.25 ounce is the largest I can find.

    1. Chef in Training

      I used a 15.25 ounce cake mix :) So sorry for the delay

  21. margie

    I am making this for a b-day celebration at my office. Still don't understand what you mean by wrapping the cake-while it's cooling in the pan or right after you take it out and for how long do you leave it wrapped???

    1. Chef in Training

      Sorry so delayed in getting back to you. After you remove it from the pan. Leave it wrapped until ready to frost :)
