Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Grease and flour three round 9-inch baking pans.

  3. Sift flour, 2 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl, cut shortening into flour mixture until fine crumbs are formed.

  4. Beat egg whites, milk, strawberry syrup, and vanilla extract into flour mixture with an electric mixer on low for 1 minute, increase to high until smooth and blended, about 2 more minutes, scraping the sides of the bowl frequently.

  5. Pour batter into prepared baking pans.

  6. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of each cake comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes.

  7. Place chocolate in a small microwave-safe bowl, heat on High in microwave until melted, about 1 minute. Stir chocolate until smooth.

  8. Beat cream cheese and 1/3 cup sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer on High until combined, 1 minute, stir chocolate into mixture until well mixed.

  9. Gently fold whipped topping, pudding mix, and chocolate sandwich cookies into cream cheese mixture to form the filling.

  10. Spread about 1/3 filling on top of one cake. Place second cake atop filling layer. Repeat with a filling layer, the third cake, and a final layer of filling on top.
