Ingredients You'll Need

Before you start, gather your ingredients to ensure you have everything ready. Here's what you'll need:

For the Chocolate Cake:
2 cups granulated sugar
1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup HERSHEY'S Cocoa
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup boiling water

For the Chocolate Buttercream:
1/2 cup butter, softened
2/3 cup HERSHEY'S Cocoa
3 cups powdered sugar
1/3 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Topping:
1 bag HERSHEY'S KISSES Brand Milk Chocolates

Preparing the Chocolate Cake

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round baking pans. In a large bowl, combine the sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla; beat on medium speed for about 2 minutes. Stir in boiling water (batter will be thin). Pour batter into prepared pans.

Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool cakes in pans for 10 minutes; remove from pans to wire racks. Cool completely.

Creating the Chocolate Buttercream

In a medium bowl, beat butter and cocoa until blended. Gradually add powdered sugar, alternating with milk, beating to desired consistency. Stir in vanilla.

Assembling the Hershey's Kiss Cake

Once your cakes have cooled completely, place one layer on a serving plate or cake stand. Spread a generous amount of chocolate buttercream on top. Place the second layer on top of the buttercream and spread the remaining buttercream over the top and sides of the cake.
