Strawberries and Cream

The orange dreamsicle cake was such a hit that I wanted to try other combinations. Last week, it was strawberries and cream. As I suspected, it was like eating strawberry shortcake, only better! This is such a quick and easy dessert, and everyone loves it. Best of all, the combinations are endless and you really can't go wrong.

Ingredients:

• 1 (18 1/4 oz.) white cake mix
• 1 (3 oz.) strawberry Jell-o
• 1 C boiling water
• 1 (3 1/2 oz.) box french vanilla instant pudding
• 1 C milk
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 1 (8 oz.) container Cool Whip

Method:

1. Set out Cool Whip to thaw.
2. Prepare cake mix according to directions for a 9X13 pan.
3. After the cake is done, remove from oven and poke holes throughout cake with a fork.
4. Prepare the Jell-O with 1 C of boiling water. Pour over cake.
5. Allow to cool 30 minutes or overnight, covered tightly and stored in fridge.
6. In a large mixing bowl, mix together pudding and milk. Stir in extract. Mix well.
7. Fold in Cool Whip.
8. Spread over cake and chill additional 2 - 3 hours before serving. Serve with fresh strawberries.
