kraft kitchens tips

Size-Wise

Sweets can be part of a balanced diet but remember to keep tabs on portions.

How to Prevent Air Bubbles

To release any air bubbles from the cake batter, lightly tap filled cake pans on counter before baking. Any small air bubbles will rise to the surface.

How to Keep the Cake Plate Clean

Make 4-inch square in centre of cake plate with 4 (3-inch-wide) strips of waxed paper. Stack and frost cake layers as directed in centre of waxed paper square. Any frosting drippings will land on the waxed paper, keeping the plate clean! Remove waxed paper strips after frosting top and side of cake with remaining Cool Whip.

I made this cake because I am a strawberry lover, and it potentially served 16 people. The only change I made from the recipe was that I cooked the cake in a spring form pan, which I decided would be just as easy to ice & easier to serve on a warm summer evening. I will definitely make this desert again & again because everyone loved it.

OMG this cake is amazing. It is simple and so good. The colour of the cake is unbelievable. I can't remember when I ate something this good that was not chocolate!
