Decadent strawberry cake with luscious chocolate filling.
Ingredients:
  • 3.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2.25 cups white sugar
  • 3.5 teaspoons baking powder
  • 0.75 cup shortening
  • 4 egg whites
  • 0.75 cup milk
  • 0.75 cup strawberry syrup
  • 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 (1 ounce) squares semi-sweet baking chocolate (such as Baker's®)
  • 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese (such as Philadelphia®), softened
  • 0.33333334326744 cup white sugar
  • 2.5 cups whipped topping (such as Cool Whip®)
  • 1 (3.9 ounce) package instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 0.5 cup crushed chocolate sandwich cookies (such as Oreo®)
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to a toasty 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Prepare three round 9-inch baking pans by greasing and flouring them.
  • Combine flour, 2 1/4 cups sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl, then mix in shortening until you have fine crumbs.
  • Using an electric mixer on low speed, combine egg whites, milk, strawberry syrup, and vanilla extract with the flour mixture for 1 minute. Increase speed to high and blend for an additional 2 minutes until smooth, remembering to scrape the sides of the bowl often.
  • Transfer the batter into the greased baking pans.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Place the chocolate in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave on High until melted, which should take about 1 minute. Stir the chocolate until it's smooth.
  • In a large bowl, use an electric mixer on High to blend cream cheese and 1/3 cup sugar until combined in about 1 minute. Stir in chocolate until well mixed.
  • Fold whipped topping, pudding mix, and crushed chocolate sandwich cookies into cream cheese mixture until well combined.
  • Layer one-third of the filling on top of the first cake. Place the second cake on top of the filling. Repeat the process with another layer of filling, the third cake, and a final layer of filling on top.
