I made this recipe for Easter and formed a cross on top with the fresh strawberries. It looked beautiful, but I wasn't that impressed with the taste. It was good, but not what I expected it to taste like. I've tasted better strawberry cakes. I was surprised at how runny the pudding and whipped topping was. Some of the pureed strawberries showed through. I probably will not make again.

I've made a recipe very similar for a few years now and everytime there is any sort of family of church function I am automatically asked to bring this. I just make a few adaptations that make the cake super moist and also make it lower in fat. I follow the directions on the box, but I omit the oil, add 1 small package of vanilla pudding to the mix and a 1/2 package of frozen strawberries and the syrup to the mix. I then bake as instructed on the back of the box. I top with sour cream icing with low fat whipped topping and cover with the rest of the frozen strawberries and drizzle with left over syrup.

This cake has been a big summer hit! Made it for 2 cookouts and guests loved it! I did, however,use a white cake mix instead of strawberry mix to give it a fresher appearance. Make this cake and become the hit of the neighborhood!

I used yellow cake mix instead of strawberry cake mix because I thought it would be too much strawberry. I was wrong. It was missing something. I think if I'd gone with the recipe, it would have been much better. Got rave reviews at the house, though. Everyone really liked it.

I made this cake along w/ Better Than Sex Cake II for my daughter's 2nd birthday party. Everyone complemented on how good it was. The fact that it doesn't cost a lot to make and that it was an easy recipe made me want to try it. I will more than likely make it again if I have the opportunity. Very easy and very good!

Everyone loved it!! I subsituted French Vanilla cake mix instead of strawberry cake mix. My grandmother used chocolate cake for a modified Black Forest Cake. It was wonderful!!

EXCELLENT RECIPE! I substituted cheesecake flavored instant pudding ~ Heavenly. The cake was gone by day two in my house of six. Everyone begged me to make another one.

I have made this cake for church gatherings and other affairs and people just rave about it. The only changes I have made is that I mix the pudding with the entire 8 ounces of cool whip to cover the entire cake.
