Ingredients
-
1 (15.25 ounce) package white cake mix (such as Duncan Hines)
-
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
-
1 tablespoon white sugar
-
1 teaspoon baking powder
-
1 ⅓ cups water
-
3 egg whites
-
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
-
2 cups milk
-
1 (3.9 ounce) package instant chocolate pudding mix
-
1 (4 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
-
¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
-
1 (16 ounce) box confectioners' sugar
-
½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
-
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
-
1 tablespoon milk, or as needed
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour 5 (8-inch) round cake pans; line with parchment paper.
-
Whisk cake mix, flour, sugar, and baking powder together in a large mixing bowl. Add water, egg whites, and vegetable oil; beat with an electric mixer on low speed until thoroughly mixed. Increase speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes. Pour 1 cup batter into each of the 5 prepared cake pans.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until cakes are set in the middle, about 8 minutes. Watch carefully so the thin cakes don't burn. Cool in pans for 10 minutes, then turn cakes out onto wire racks to finish cooling.
-
Whisk 2 cups milk and pudding mix together in a bowl until combined; let stand 2 minutes to thicken. Place 1 cake layer on a serving plate; spread about 1/2 cup pudding on top. Stack 1 cake layer on top; repeat with remaining pudding and cake layers, ending with cake layer.
-
Mash cream cheese and butter together in a bowl until thoroughly combined; mix in confectioners' sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and milk, slowly adding and mixing in milk to reach a spreadable frosting consistency. Frost top and sides of cake. Refrigerate leftovers.
