  1. I have made this recipe many many times and it is always a hit. The secret is the French Vanilla cake; that combined with the Cool Whip is outstanding flavor! Note: I do not use the butter--I just make the mix as directed. My kids call it my Strawberry Shortcut Cake! Just beware that the Cool Whip does not stand up well in the heat! Try this--you won't be disappointed.
