Instructions

Churro Cake

1. Prepare 13x9 cake pan with nonstick spray and parchment paper. Preheat oven to 350’F
2. In a large bowl sift your DH cake mix, flour, cocoa powder, salt and baking powder. In a separate bowl whisk together the milk, sugar, melted butter, food coloring, eggs and vanilla. Add your dry ingredients to your wet ingredients and whisk until combined and add to your prepared pan.
3. Bake for 25-30 mins or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow cake to cool completely.

Cheecake Topping

4. In a stand mixer with a whisk attachment place the cream cheese, heavy whipping cream, sugar and vanilla and beat on low speed until it begins to mix. Once the mixture is pretty combined bump the speed up to High and it only takes a couple of minutes and the mixture will be fluffy and creamy.
5. Give it a mix to make sure its combined and creamy and set is aside until you have soaked your cake.

Milk Blend

Add all of the ingredients of the milk blend together and whisk until combined.

Assembly

6. Once the cake is cooled cut of some of the dome and poke holes all around the cake with a fork.
7. Add about 3/4 of the milk mixture (save the rest for serving) in about 3 additions allowing the cake to consume the milk before adding more. Allow the cake to sit for about 10 minutes.
8. Once the cake has soaked in the milk using a piping bag or just scoop and swirl the cheesecake filling over the top of the cake with the cheesecake filling.
9. Crumble some of the dome that you removed and sprinkle on top of the cake.
10. Refrigerate the cake for 2-3 hours to set and serve cold.

Tips

11. Make sure all your wet ingredients are room temp so your batter mixes together beautifully!
12. The cake can be stored in the fridge for 2-3 days since it is a doctored cake mix it may not hold up great too much longer after that it must always be kept refrigerated due to all of the dairy.
