Strawberry Cake

This is a wonderful light and cool dessert. My daughter saw this recipe on the side of the strawberry cake box and brought the ingredients to make the dessert for dinner today. It was easy and it was really good. I liked it because it was good and it was light. I didn't feel like I had a sugar overload after I ate it.

1 strawberry cake mix
1 vanilla pudding mix (cook and serve) (larger size)
1 small container of cool whip
1 large container of fresh strawberries

Mix cake according to directions and bake. Let cool. Slice strawberries and cover the top of the cake. Mix the vanilla pudding only use 2 cups of milk instead of 3. After the pudding has thickened add 3 cups of cool whip and fold into the pudding and spread over the top of the strawberries. Cover with saran wrap and put in the frig for a couple of hours.

The above directions is the way my daughter made the cake.These are the actual directions that were on the box. Bake the cake. When cake is cool poke holes in cake with a fork and puree strawberries. Pour pureed strawberries over cake and let soak in. Prepare pudding using 2 cups of milk instead of 3 and fold in cool whip.

We both thought it would be good to prepare 1 large container of pudding along with a small one because we felt that 1 large container was not enough. And we also thought the pureed strawberries would be good to soak into the cake and then to slice fresh berries on top of the cake then add the pudding.

This is one of those recipes that is fast and easy and good.

Sorry, no picture. We ate it up before I thought of taking a picture.
