Makes:

What You Need

1 pkg. (2-layer size) white cake mix

1 pkg. (4-serving size) JELL-O Strawberry Jelly Powder

2/3 cup sour cream

2/3 cup icing sugar

3 cups thawed COOL WHIP Whipped Topping

1-1/2 cups sliced strawberries, divided

Make It

PREHEAT oven to 350°F. Grease two (8- or 9-inch) round cake pans; set aside. Prepare cake batter as directed on package. Pour half of the batter into medium bowl. Add dry jelly powder; stir until well blended. Spoon half of the white batter and half of the pink batter, side by side, into each prepared pan.

SWIRL batters together using a teaspoon. (Do not overswirl, or the colour of the cake will be all pink and not pink and white marbled.) Bake 30 min. Cool 30 min. in pans. Remove to wire racks; cool completely.

MIX sour cream and icing sugar in medium bowl until well blended. Gently stir in whipped topping. Place one of the cake layers on serving plate; spread top with 1 cup of the whipped topping mixture. Top with 1 cup of the strawberries. Top with remaining cake layer. Spread top and side of cake with remaining whipped topping mixture. Top with remaining 1/2 cup strawberries just before serving. Store leftover cake in refrigerator.

Kraft Kitchens Tips

How to Prevent Air Bubbles

To release any air bubbles from the cake batter, lightly tap 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 four 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 whipped topping.

How to Swirl Batter

Use a teaspoon to swirl the two colours of batter. It is perfect for lifting and pulling the two colours together.
