What do you use as filling between layers of Amanda's Chocolate Dump-It Cake?

I am somewhat obsessed with the cake :-)...... Emily..... (http://www.kitchenbutterfly.com/2012/02/17/chocolate-dump-it-all-cake-a-la-hesser/). Thanks for your wonderful exclamating (new word) compliment!

I must apologise for seeing this late! I've done a host of flavouring the cake itself, and using different fillings and frostings.

In addition to the 'regular' version, I've made coffee-chocolate, orange-chocolate, chocolate and peppermint, chocolate-ginger versions.

My classic frosting is a chocolate ganache, though I've made a chocolate orange ganache. I've also done a white chocolate -peppermint frosting (http://smittenkitchen.com/blog/2010/02/chocolate-souffle-cupcakes-with-mint-cream/). I've topped it with caramel frosting and buttercream too.

One of my absolute favourites is making it into a layer cake and filling it with fresh strawberries and cream; or strawberries and a milk chocolate mousse; or just with the chocolate mousse(http://food52.com/recipes/2905-chocolate-layer-mousse-cake-with-cognac-and-bittersweet-chocolate-curls).

Another way I absolutely love it is to make an ice cream cake. Chocolate cake base, strawberry swirl middle layer, finished with plain vanilla and occassionally, 'ganached'.

I've also made a thin mint cookie cake which was superb! http://www.kitchenbutterfly.com/2012/11/05/november-2012-made-in-nigeria-in-my-kitchen/

The possibilities are endless! Hands down my favourite cake ever!

I was thinking raspberry or cherry jam as some others have mentioned. I also like the idea of a whipped cream that is mixed with raspberry jam. I'm not sure whether the cream would be thick enough to be slathered in between in advance, though. Other flavor combos: dulche de leche, peanut butter, or pistachio

I've made it with cherry jam as filling also, but if I were you, I'd contact Kitchen Butterfly. http://food52.com/users/4674-kitchen-butterfly. She has made the cake many many times and has come up with tons of variations. (I think she did something interesting with mint.)

Chocolate and cherries are a classic combo - especially during Valentine's week. Some good quality sour cherry preserves would be easy, and pretty delicious with the chocolate sour cream frosting.

I would fill with a salted caramel filling like the one here,

You can add sliced strawberries; replace the filling with nutella; cream cheese frosting; or thick jam
