HERSHEY'S MILK CHOCOLATE CAKE

This cake is a favorite of my mother's. Wonderfully light & moist with lots of milk chocolate flavor. It was given to her by a friend out of a (maybe) church recipe book. It was copyrighted in 1955, and the original recipe calls for "8 plain Hershey bars (5-cent size)", so we have to now guess at the amount of chocolate. A standard size Hershey bar (43 grams per bar) works great. It is cheaper to buy Hershey bars in 1/2 lb. or more blocks (I found these at Wal-Mart)(You need a total of 344 g).

Tips:

  • To achieve the perfect consistency for your cake batter, make sure to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help incorporate air into the mixture, resulting in a moist and tender crumb.
  • Use room temperature ingredients whenever possible. This will help ensure that your cake batter mixes evenly and bakes properly.
  • Do not overmix the batter once you have added the dry ingredients. Overmixing can lead to a tough, dense cake.
  • Be careful not to overbake the cake. A toothpick inserted into the center of the cake should come out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help prevent the frosting from melting and sliding off the cake.
  • If you are using a store-bought frosting, be sure to bring it to room temperature before using. This will make it easier to spread and will help it adhere to the cake better.
  • Decorate the cake with your favorite toppings, such as sprinkles, chopped nuts, or fresh fruit.
