This recipe came from a dear friend. We knew each other in high school, but we lost touch over the years. Recently we have not only gotten back in touch, but we have shared stories and recipes and basically our lives, and we have done it all on Facebook! The cake truly IS delicious, and and I can't wait to spend some time with (someone I am proud to call my friend), Sparkle Baines, when I get back to Georgia! <3
1 box French vanilla cake mix
8 ounces cream cheese
1/2 pint heavy whipping cream
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 box Danish Dessert (or make your own using recipe below)
1-11/2 pounds Chopped fresh strawberries
1. Bake the cake (according to box or recipe directions) in size of baking pan desired. If you desire a higher topping to cake ratio, bake the cake in a greased jelly roll pan at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for approximately 20 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean. Let cool completely.
2. Mix together the cream cheese, heavy whipping cream, and powdered sugar in a mixing bowl until creamy and smooth.
3. In a separate bowl, prepare the Danish Dessert according to box directions.
4. Spread the cream cheese mixture on top of the cooled white cake. Then top with the Danish Dessert. Finish by topping the cake with the fresh cut strawberries.
Danish Dessert.

2 heaping T. cornstarch
1 pkg unsweetened Kool-Aid brand drink mix in desired flavor

***After making this Danish Dessert not knowing what to expect it came out like the “strawberry glaze” stuff that you get in the produce section close to the strawberries and little round cakes.***
***Store in fridge***
