If youve never had a Devil Dog, just think of it as a hot dog–shaped whoopie pie—two layers of soft chocolate cake sandwiching a creamy whipped filling. Honestly, that filling can be just about anything, from your favorite vanilla frosting to Homemade Cool Whip or even a batch of Cherry Pit Whipped Cream.
Can These Devil’s Food Cakes Be Frozen?
Yes, they can! To do so, wrap each cake individually in plastic wrap. Then store them in a freezer bag and place them in the freezer to enjoy for up to 3 months.
Tips To Make The Best Homemade Devil Dog Cake Recipe!
Be sure to mix the dry ingredients together first, just as the recipe calls for! This way the leavening agents get evenly dispersed throughout the batter.
The devils food cakes batter is THICK! I found the best way to mix the thick batter is by using a rubber spatula to fold the ingredients together.
To pipe the batter onto the baking sheets I found that a pastry bag fitted with a 1A piping tip worked best.
The cakes will spread during baking so make sure to leave room between the cakes on the baking pan!
Cakes have finished baking when the tops are no longer sticky and spring back slightly when touched. Be cautious not to overbake them as we don’t want dry Homemade Devil Dog Cakes!
While the heavy cream is optional in the filling recipe, I do highly recommend using it! It thickens up the filling nicely, allowing the creme to hold its shape between the layers of cake!
These Homemade Devil Dog Cakes are best enjoyed the day of! However, if you store them in an airtight container at room temperature you can get an extra day of enjoying them!
