Ingredients

1. 1 Chocolate Pound Cake (or make your own Chocolate Loaf cake I am including a recipe below)
2. 1 Cup Heavy Cream
3. 1/3 Cup White Chocolate Chips
4. 1 Pint Strawberries
5. 2 Tablespoons Sugar
6. 4 Tablespoons Butter
7. 1/2 Cup Chocolate Milk
8. 2 Teaspoons Vanilla Extract
9. 1/4 Teaspoon Cinnamon
10. 3 Eggs
11. 1/4 Cup Chocolate Chips

Instructions

1. Pre-Heat Oven to 350 degrees
2. Slice the pound cake into 8 slices. Place the prepared baking sheet. Toast in the oven for 12 minutes.
3. In a small pot, heat 1/4 cup heavy cream over low heat. When hot, whisk in the white chocolate chips until melted and fully incorporated into the cream. Remove from the heat and chill in the fridge until cool but still a pourable consistency, about 30 minutes.
4. In a blender, combine three-quarters of the strawberries with the sugar. Reserve the remaining strawberries for garnish. Blend until smooth. Strain the puree through a strainer into a bowl. Cover and place in the fridge until ready to serve. Strawberry sauce can be made the day before and keep in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
5. In a baking dish. whisk together the chocolate milk, vanilla, cinnamon and eggs until well blended. Place 4 pieces of the pound cake into the egg mixture and let soak for 15 seconds. Flip and soak the other side for 15 seconds.
6. Remove the cake from the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, and place in the heated skillet with the butter. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove to a platter. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter to the skillet and repeat with the remaining 4 pound cake slices.
7. Put it all together and ENJOY!!!

Notes

1. k so you couldn't find Chocolate Pound Cake or just felt like making your own? Not a problem here is what I used for mine.

6. 3/4 Teaspoon Baking Powder
7. 3/4 Teaspoon Salt
8. 2 Large Eggs
9. 3/4 Cup Butter Milk
10. 1/2 Cup Vegetable Oil
11. 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
12. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 10-by-5 1/2-inch loaf pan. Dust with cocoa powder; tap out excess. Sift cocoa powder, flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.
13. Add eggs, 3/4 cup warm water, the buttermilk, oil, and vanilla. Mix on low speed until smooth, about 3 minutes. Raise speed to medium; mix 30 seconds.
14. Transfer batter to prepared pan. Bake until a cake tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Let cool in pan on a wire rack 15 minutes. Run a knife around edges to loosen; invert, and unmold. Let cool completely, right side up.
