   Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and greasing the bottoms of two 9x13-inch glass baking dishes.

   In a spacious bowl, blend together the German chocolate cake mix, 1 ¼ cups of water, ½ cup of vegetable oil, and 3 eggs.

   Whip this mixture with an electric mixer on medium speed until it’s perfectly combined, then pour the luscious batter into one of the prepared baking dishes.

   In a separate bowl, combine the white cake mix, 1 cup of water, ½ cup of vegetable oil, and 3 egg whites.

   Using clean beaters, mix on medium speed until smooth, then transfer this batter into the second baking dish.

6. Step 6

   Bake the chocolate cake for 30 to 35 minutes and the white cake for 29 to 34 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

   Once baked, let the cakes cool in their pans for about 30 minutes on a wire rack.

   While the cakes cool, whisk together cold milk and pudding mix in a large bowl for 2 minutes, then refrigerate until needed.
