A Hershey’s Chocolate Cake with Cream Cheese Filling is such a decadent combination—rich, moist chocolate cake paired with tangy, creamy filling! Here’s a recipe to create this sweet masterpiece:

Ingredients:

For the Chocolate Cake:

• 1 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 and 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (Hershey’s works great!)

• 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup whole milk
