  2. Bake the cake for approximately 30 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  3. Allow the cake to cool for about 10 minutes, then poke holes evenly across the surface.
  4. In a bowl, whisk the white chocolate pudding mix and 4 cups of milk until smooth, then pour over the warm cake.
  5. Let the pudding set for about 5 minutes, then spread the Cool Whip evenly on top.

  7. Arrange quartered strawberries on top and drizzle with more melted chocolate.
  8. Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours before serving.
