Easy to make, nice light dessert. I used fat free cool whip but liked the cake with fat free choclate pudding instead of the fat free vanilla. I also substitued egg beaters for the eggs. Thanks for posting. -
I am so sorry but I just could not get used to the taste of the strawberries on this cake. They were just too tart for all of the sweetness of the cake and pudding. They would have been better with a little sugar mixed in with them. However, my boyfriend loved this cake. I just found myself picking all of the strawberries off and eating the cake :-( I wish that I could honestly give this a better review. Perhaps, I will add sugar to the strawberries the next time. Thank you for the recipe though. -
This dessert was delicious. I actually made it with FF coolwhip and FF pudding. I also made the cake with a diet Sprite and cake mix. It was a great low fat dessert! -
I made this cake for my guests over Memorial Day. What a hit it was with everyone and definitely worth the time it takes to make it. This recipe produces a very moist cake. We loved the pudding and strawberry topping. Wonderful! Thanks so much for sharing, LorenLou.

I live in Sugar Land, Texas. I love to try new recipes. My husband jokes that if he likes something, I never make it again for 6 months! My children are very picky, but do have their favorites that I try to include in our menu more often than every 6 months.
