Ingredients
Cooking spray
2 15- to 18-ounce boxes white cake mix (plus required ingredients)
5 to 6 strips all-natural berry-flavored fruit leather
8 ounces white chocolate
1 16- to 18-ounce jar strawberry preserves (not jelly)
Directions
- Coat the bottom and sides of an 11-by-17-inch rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. Prepare the cake mixes as directed; spread in the baking sheet, filling it about three-quarters of the way (you will have leftover batter).
- Bake the cake at 350 degrees F until a toothpick comes out clean, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool in the pan, then scrape off the top of the cake with a fork, leaving a border for the crust.
- Cut the fruit leather into 1 1/2-inch circles using a cookie cutter or kitchen shears and set aside. (If the strips are too narrow, roll them out slightly with a rolling pin before cutting.)
- Grate about 2 tablespoons of white chocolate into a bowl and set aside. Chop the remaining white chocolate.
- Microwave the chopped white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring, until smooth.
- Mix the preserves with 2 tablespoons of the melted white chocolate in another bowl ¿ this will make the sauce more opaque.
- Spread the strawberry sauce on the cake, inside the border.
- Top with spoonfuls of the remaining melted white chocolate, spreading each slightly with the back of a spoon. Sprinkle with the grated white chocolate.
- Use a kitchen torch to toast the melted white chocolate and the edges of the cake. Top with the fruit-leather circles.
