Birthday 'Stripe' Cake

Strawberry gelatin creates intriguing stripes in this
cake, while vanilla pudding and fresh strawberries add
the finishing touch.


1 (18.25-ounce) package white or yellow cake mix
1 (4-serving size) package Strawberry Gelatin
1/2 cup boiling water
1/2 cup margarine or butter, softened
1 (4-serving size) package Instant Vanilla Pudding
1/2 cup milk
1 (16-ounce) package powdered sugar
1/2 cup prepared whipped topping
1/2 cup chopped strawberries
Prepared whipped topping and strawberries, for garnish


Prepare cake mix according to package directions in 2
greased and floured 9-inch round cake pans; remove
from pans and cool. Poke cakes at 1-inch intervals, using
fork tines or end of wooden spoon. Dissolve gelatin in
boiling water; slowly drizzle over cake layers to allow
gelatin to seep into holes. Refrigerate 1 hour.

Beat margarine or butter in bowl with electric mixer
at medium speed until creamy; blend in pudding mix and
milk. Slowly beat in powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Refrigerate frosting about 10 minutes or until spreading consistency.

Mix 1/2 cup frosting, whipped topping and strawberries.
Place one cake layer on serving dish; spread with strawberry
filling. Top with remaining cake layer; frost with remaining
frosting. Garnish with additional whipped topping and
strawberries if desired. Refrigerate until serving time.
