Homemade Red Velvet Cake w/ Cookies & Cream Hershey
Ingredients
1 box of red velvet cake mix
6 Hershey’s cookies and cream chocolate bars
Directions
- Follow the instructions on the red velvet cake mix box to prepare the batter. This usually involves mixing the cake mix with eggs, oil, and water.
- Pour the batter into a greased baking pan.
- Bake the cake according to the package instructions, usually at 350°F (175°C) for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once the cake is done baking, remove it from the oven and immediately place the 6 Hershey’s chocolate bars on top of the hot cake.
- Cover the cake with foil to trap the heat and allow the chocolate bars to melt completely (this should take about 5-10 minutes).
- After the chocolate has melted, use a spatula or the back of a spoon to evenly spread the melted chocolate over the top of the cake.
- Let the cake cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your delicious red velvet cake with a rich, melted chocolate topping!
