Strawberry Cream Cheese Layered Cake
*I made a chocolate oreo version of this cake and it was simply scrumptious. I made this for a birthday party and wasn't sure they loved chocolate so I switched out the main ingredients*
1 box of moist Strawberry cake. Baked as directed in two 9in. round pans, let cool.
12oz of cream cheese (1 1/2 bars), softened. Mixed with 3/4 cup of granulated sugar.
Once the cream cheese and sugar is mixed and smooth, chop up 5 to 6 strawberries and throw in the cream cheese mixture. Add 2 1/2 cups of cool whip. Mix well.
Cut each cake horizontally, you will end up with 4 thin, round cakes. Once the cakes are completely cooled, spread the cream cheese/strawberry mixture on to the first layer and start stacking the cakes, "icing" each layer and adding the next cake.
You will end up with a 4-layer strawberry cake with the mixture in the middle if each layer. I reserve most of the mixture for the top layer, just a personal preference.
Next, take 2 tablespoons of butter and 4oz of white chocolate (I used Ghirardelli) and place in a bowl. Microwave for 2 minutes, stopping every 30 seconds to stir.
I chopped up 3 additional strawberries and placed on top of the cake, followed by 3 whole strawberries, for looks. Then pour the white chocolate all over the top, allowing it to run down the sides. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Thank me later.
