HOHO Cake

Instructions

1. Begin by blending the softened cream cheese and butter in a mixing bowl until smooth.
2. Gradually add the confectioners’ sugar and mix until well combined.
3. Gently fold in the Cool Whip until the filling is light and fluffy. Refrigerate the filling to chill.
4. Once the cakes have cooled completely, spread the filling on one of the cake layers.
5. Place the second cake layer on top and smooth out the sides.
6. Frost the entire cake with the milk chocolate frosting for a decadent finish.

Tips for Success

• Make sure the cakes are completely cool before adding the filling to prevent it from melting.
• Chill the filling before spreading to help it set more firmly between the layers.
• For an extra chocolatey kick, consider adding a layer of ganache on top.

Additional Tips or Variations

If you’re feeling adventurous, try adding a few drops of peppermint extract to the filling for a minty twist. You could also sprinkle some chopped nuts or mini chocolate chips between the layers for added texture.
