Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the wet ingredients (butter, egg whites, milk, vanilla extract) for the white cake layer. 
  3. In a separate larger bowl, mix together the dry ingredients for the white cake layer (flour, sugar, baking powder, salt). 
  4. Mix together the dry and wet ingredients to form the cake batter. Use an electric mixer to make this easier, if you have one.
  5. Spray a 9" x 13" baking pan with cooking spray.
  6. Pour cake batter into baking pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until a sharp knife inserted into the cake comes out clean.
  7. Allow cake to cool until it can be safely handled.
  8. Using the back of a spoon, or other utensil, poke cake all over to form holes. 
  9. Spread the chocolate pudding on top of the cake, being sure to get the pudding down into the holes you just made.
  10. Next, mix together the cream cheese and powdered sugar. Mix in the unsweetened chocolate and 2 tablespoons of milk. Beat by hand or with a mixer, until frosting consistency is formed. Spread evenly over the cake.
  11. Mix the whipped topping with the chocolate syrup and chocolate chips. Spread this over the top of the cake.
  12. Sprinkle extra chocolate chips over the chocolate poke cake for garnish. And top with a drizzle of white chocolate sauce if desired.
