Directions
- For the cake: Bake the cake in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish according to the package instructions. Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Poke holes all over the top of the cake with a skewer, then set aside.
- Meanwhile, to a pitcher, add the sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, strawberry milk, vanilla extract and almond extract. Whisk thoroughly to combine. Slowly pour the milk mixture over the cake. Chill, uncovered, for 30 minutes in the fridge. This will help when frosting the cake.
- For the strawberry frosting: Meanwhile, add the cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, jarred strawberry sauce and dehydrated strawberries to a large bowl. With a hand mixer on low speed, start to combine the ingredients. Once everything has begun to come together, increase the speed and whip until smooth. Set aside.
- Spread the frosting over the cake. Chill until ready to serve.
- To serve: Cut the cake into 12 squares. Spoon some of the strawberry sauce on a plate. Top with a piece of cake. Crumble over one of the strawberry cream sandwich cookies. Dip a strawberry half into the remaining strawberry sauce, giving it a light coat and sheen. Place on the center of the cake. Shave over the white chocolate. Repeat with the remaining slices.
