Black Midnight Pudding Cake with Strawberries
My Black Midnight Pudding Cake with Strawberries recipe will have everyone saying “oooohhh and ahhhhh…” after dinner! It’s to die for, and has all the best flavors – chocolate cake, white chocolate pudding, and strawberries! It makes a ton of dessert and you could take this to a dinner party, potluck, picnic, or just about any place you were required to bring a dish and be the life of the party!
Here are the ingredients you’ll be needing:
- 2 1/4 cup al purpose flour
- 2/3 cup cocoa
- 1 1/4 cup water
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 2/3 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup shortening
- 1 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 2 eggs
- 1 lb strawberries
- 4 boxes Jello instant white chocolate pudding
- 7 cups milk (to make the pudding)
This is a very, very easy recipe to make. Get a large mixing bowl and mix everything except the last 3 ingredients. Beat for about 3 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease and lightly flour a 9×14 glass baking dish or two round cake pans. Bake the 9×14 pan 40-45 minutes or the two round cake pans 30-35 minutes.
While the cake bakes mix all the milk and boxes of instant pudding, beat for 3 minutes and place in fridge. Then wash, and cut the tops off of and slice a pound of strawberries and place in fridge. The cake is done when knife comes cleanly out of the center. Let cake cool for 60 minutes.
Once cake has cooled get an extra large mixing bowl out (4 quart+), preferably glass so you can see the layers. Cut the cake into brownie size squares, take 3-4 squares out and crumble in the bottom of the mixing bowl (enough to cover about 2″ high). Spread a 2″ layer of pudding on top, then another 2″ layer of cake. I usually get about 2 layers of cake and 2 layers of pudding. The pudding should be your last layer on top and then you spread the sliced strawberries over the top it’s ready to serve! I like to make this earlier in the day and then let it chill in the fridge until after dinner! This dessert can easily serve 8-12 people, you could cut the recipe in half for just your family at home (just make sure to bake the cake in a smaller 9×9 pan).
Enjoy!
