\n\ud83c\udf6c 2 cups sugar

\n\ud83e\uddc2 1 1\/2 tsp baking soda
\n\ud83e\uddc2 1 tsp salt
\n\ud83e\udd5a 2 large eggs
\n\ud83e\udd5b 1 cup whole milk
\n\ud83e\uddc8 1\/2 cup vegetable oil
\n\ud83e\udd44 2 tsp vanilla extract
\n\u2615 1 cup boiling water (or hot coffee for richer flavor)<\/p>\n
For the Cream Cheese Filling:<\/p>\n
\ud83e\uddc0 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
\n\ud83c\udf6c 1\/4 cup sugar
\n\ud83e\udd5a 1 large egg
\n\ud83e\udd44 1 tsp vanilla extract<\/p>\n
\ud83c\udf73 Preparation Steps:<\/p>\n
Preheat the oven:
\nPreheat your oven to 350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans or line with parchment paper.<\/p>\n
Make the chocolate cake batter:
\nIn a large bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract. Beat on medium speed for about 2 minutes until smooth. Stir in the boiling water (or coffee). The batter will be thin.<\/p>\n
Prepare the cream cheese filling:
\nIn a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.<\/p>\n
Assemble the cake layers:
\nDivide half of the chocolate batter between the prepared cake pans. Spoon dollops of the cream cheese filling onto the batter in each pan, then swirl gently with a knife or toothpick. Pour the remaining chocolate batter over the top.<\/p>\n
Bake the cake:
\nBake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.<\/p>\n
Optional frosting or topping:
\nFor extra indulgence, frost the cake with a rich chocolate ganache or cream cheese frosting, or simply dust with powdered sugar.<\/p>\n
Serve & enjoy:
\nSlice and enjoy the combination of rich Hershey\u2019s chocolate cake with a sweet, creamy filling!<\/p>\n
