Chocolate Parfait with Cake and Strawberries

Gluten-Free Recipe Card and Pictures

¾ Cup Sugar
2 Eggs
1 Cup Sour Cream
¾ Cup Vegetable Oil
1 Teaspoon Vanilla
1 Teaspoon Baking Powder
½ Teaspoon Baking Soda
½ Cup Cocoa
¼ Cup Glutinous Rice Flour
¼ Cup Tapioca Flour
1 Cup White Rice Flour

8 Ounces Cream Cheese
1 Cup Powdered Sugar
2 Tablespoons Cocoa
1 Cup Heavy Whipping Cream
1 Cup Semisweet Chocolate Chips
¼ Cup Milk

Choose whatever best fits your tastes — a container of sliced frozen strawberries in heavy syrup (thawed) works well (as pictured), as does a quart of fresh sliced strawberries for a little less sweetness in the finished product. Four to six servings.

Choose clear glasses that show off the parfait layers.

Serve soon after assembly; top with a bit of whipped cream if desired (as pictured).

1. With mixer, mix the eggs and sugar together on medium-high speed for about two minutes. Add sour cream; mix. Add oil; mix. Add vanilla, baking powder and soda; mix. Add remaining ingredients; mix.
2. Place in greased 9x13x2" cake pan and bake at 350° for 25 minutes.
3. Once cake is cooled, cut into small (one inch) squares as needed to meet parfait requirements — some leftover cake will remain.

1. In microwave, melt chocolate chips and milk (approximately 1½ minutes on high); reserve.
2. In mixer, combine cream cheese, powdered sugar and cocoa. Add heavy whipping cream; mix. Add the reserved chocolate from earlier and mix until even consistency.
3. Place in refrigerator until ready for assembly.

1. Place the chocolate cream cheese mixture into a large zip lock bag. Snip off a corner of the zip lock bag to form a pastry bag. You will be  able to pipe the mixture out of the bag corner and into your chosen parfait glasses.
2. Add part of the chocolate cream cheese mixture, followed by cake squares, to your glasses. Add another thin layer of the chocolate cream cheese mixture followed by sliced strawberries. Continue as needed forming layers of color and flavor as you go.
3. Cool in refrigerator until ready to serve.
