I made this cake for the July 4th festivities at my aunt's house and everyone loved it! I even made the american flag with blueberries and strawberries on top. It's so easy to make and its so light, so you won't feel bad about indulging a little!

I've made this one so many times. It is such a great light summer dessert. I always get requests for the recipe. The fact that it is almost guilt free is a bonus because it tastes so good!

I made this recipe as part of our Mother's Day menu and it was a total hit! My father is diabetic, so after reading another review I purchased the reduced sugar yellow cake mix by Pillsbury. I also used a can of light mandarin oranges, used the egg whites from a carton in the egg section rather than cracking eggs and used sugar free Cool Whip. It was delicious and my dad's sugar didn't shoot through the roof - perfect! The cake tastes MUCH better after being in the fridge for at least 12 hours, and got even better after that. Wonderful light dessert!
