Steps:
- CAKE: Mix all cake ingredients together and bake at 350°F in 3x9-inch pans greased & floured for 30 to 35 minutes. Grate 5 Hershey candy bars in small bowl. Grate or shave the other bar and set aside for garnishing. You can cut back on the bars if desired by not using as many in the frosting. Beat powdered sugar, sugar and cream cheese. Fold in grated candy bars and chopped nuts. Then fold in cool whip. Let cake layers cool before assembling. Put 1 layer frosting on the plate you are going to serve it on. You can be generous with the frosting between each layer. Then lay another layer on top of the first layer. Put the last layer on top. Proceed on to frost the top and sides. Sprinkle the candy bar on top. Refrigerate.
HERSHEY BAR CHOCOLATE CAKE
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Preheat oven to 350 F.
- Grease either two 9x5 loaf pans, two 12x8 pans, or 1 tube pan, depending on which you want to use.
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking soda with a wire whisk. Set aside.
- Cream together the butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla with an electric hand mixer.
- Add syrup and melted chocolate and mix completely.
- Blend in the buttermilk.
- Gradually add in the flour mixture until well combined and pour the batter into prepared pans.
- Bake loaf pans for 55 minutes, the rectangular pans for 25 minutes, and the tube pan for 45 minutes to an hour.
- Cover it with foil immediately. This has a steaming effect and keeps the cake moister. Keep covered until cake is completely cool.
- Serve and enjoy!

Tips:
- Use room temperature ingredients for the cake batter, as this will help the ingredients combine more smoothly and create a more even bake.
- Do not overmix the batter, as this can result in a tough cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven to ensure that it bakes evenly.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it, as this will help the frosting set properly.
- When making the frosting, use softened butter for a smooth and creamy texture.
- If you don't have any Hershey's bars on hand, you can use another type of chocolate bar, such as Kit Kats, Milky Way, or Snickers.
- For a fun twist, try adding some chopped nuts or sprinkles to the top of the frosting.
