Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Classic Doberge Cake.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
Prepare five 8-inch round cake pans by greasing and flouring them, then line the bottoms with parchment paper for easy release.
Step 3
In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, flour, sugar, and baking powder, whisking them together until well blended.
Step 4
Next, introduce the water, egg whites, and vegetable oil, and mix on low speed with an electric mixer until everything is harmoniously combined.
Step 5
Increase the speed to medium and beat for a delightful 2 minutes, allowing the batter to come together beautifully.
Step 6
Carefully pour about 1 cup of batter into each prepared cake pan, ensuring an even distribution.
Step 7
Place the pans in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 8 minutes, or until the cakes are set in the center—keep a watchful eye to avoid any burning mishaps.
Step 8
Once baked, let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before gently transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
Step 9
While the cakes cool, whisk together the milk and pudding mix in a separate bowl until smooth, allowing it to sit for 2 minutes to thicken.
Step 10
On a serving plate, lay down the first cake layer and generously spread about 1/2 cup of the pudding on top.
Step 11
Repeat this layering with the remaining cake layers and pudding, finishing with a final cake layer on top.
Step 12
In another bowl, blend the cream cheese and butter until silky smooth.
Step 13
Gradually incorporate the confectioners' sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and just enough milk to achieve a luscious, spreadable frosting consistency.
Step 14
With a steady hand, frost the top and sides of your cake with the creamy frosting, creating a delightful finish.
Step 15
Any leftover cake can be stored in the refrigerator, but we doubt it will last long! Enjoy your delicious creation!.
