Recipe For Rolo Chocolate Cake

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add the buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix well.

4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until the batter is smooth and well combined.

5. Slowly mix in the hot water until fully incorporated. The batter will be thin, but this is normal.

6. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops with a spatula.

7. Unwrap the Rolos and press them gently into the cake batter, evenly spaced apart.

8. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.

9. Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

10. Once the cakes are completely cooled, place one cake layer on a serving plate and top with a generous layer of whipped cream.

11. Carefully place the second cake layer on top and cover the entire cake with whipped cream.

12. For a finishing touch, decorate the top of the cake with additional Rolos and a dusting of cocoa powder, if desired.

13. Slice, serve, and enjoy the indulgent combination of chocolate, caramel, and creamy whipped cream in every bite!
