Let's Make It
1
Heat oven to 350°F.
2
Cover 3 baking sheets with parchment; spray with cooking spray. Beat cake mix, oil, water and eggsin large bowl with mixer until blended. Drop 1 cup batter into 2 mounds on 1 of the prepared baking sheets, using 1/2 cup batter for each mound and placing mounds 8 inches apart.
3
Spread each mound of batter into 6-inch round with back of spoon. Repeat with remaining batter on remaining 2 prepared baking sheets.
4
Bake 12 min. or until tops spring back when gently pressed in centers. Cool completely. Gently run offset spatula under each cake layer to loosen cake from parchment.
5
Microwave chocolate and 1-1/2 cups COOL WHIP (about half of tub) in microwaveable bowl on HIGH 1-1/2 min.; stir until chocolate is completely melted and mixture is well blended. Cool until thickened. Meanwhile, beat pudding mix and milk in large bowl with whisk 2 min. Fold in remaining COOL WHIP. Refrigerate until ready to use.
6
Place 1 cake layer on plate; spread with 1/3 of the chocolate mixture. Cover with second cake layer, 1/3 of the pudding mixture and 1/2 cup strawberries.
7
Repeat layers twice. Refrigerate 2 hours.
Kitchen Tips
Tip 1
Food Facts
You will need to chop about 2 cups whole strawberries to get the 1-1/2-cup measure of finely chopped strawberries needed to prepare this impressive dessert.
Tip 2
Variation
For a banana cream pie cake, Swap strawberry cake mix with yellow cake, JELL-O instant vanilla pudding instead of white chocolate flavor, and banana slices instead of strawberries.
Tip 3
How to Fold
Use a folding technique to incorporate light airy ingredients, such as thawed COOL WHIP Whipped Topping, beaten egg whites or whipped cream, into heavier mixtures, such as thickened JELL-O Pudding or prepared cake batter. Start by stirring a small amount of the lighter mixture into the heavier mixture to thin it slightly. Then, blend the remaining two mixtures by using a rubber spatula to gently cut down vertically into both mixtures, then scraping the spatula across the bottom of the bowl and up the side to fully incorporate the two mixtures, rotating the bowl as you go.
Tip 4
Mindful Eating
Practice mindful eating by savoring the flavor of this decadent cake and sticking to the recommended serving size.
Tip 5
Note
The diameter of the COOL WHIP lid measures about 6 inches. So it makes a great reference to use when knowing how large to spread the COOL WHIP mixture into rounds on the prepared baking sheets.
