Ingredients

  • 1 package chocolate cake mix (regular size)
  • 1 quart fresh whole strawberries, sliced, divided
  • 1 carton (13-1/2 ounces) strawberry glaze, divided
  • 2 cartons (12 ounces each) frozen whipped topping, thawed, divided
  • 1 cup chocolate frosting
  • Shaved chocolate, optional

Directions

  1. Prepare and bake cake according to package directions, using a 13x9-in. baking pan. Cool completely on a wire rack.
  2. Cut cake into 1-in. cubes. Place half of the cubes in a 6-qt. glass punch bowl. Top with half of the sliced strawberries; drizzle with half of the strawberry glaze. Spread with 3-1/2 cups whipped topping.
  3. In a microwave-safe bowl, heat frosting on high for 20-30 seconds or until pourable, stirring often; cool slightly. Drizzle half over the whipped topping. Repeat layers of cake, berries, glaze and whipped topping. If desired, drizzle with remaining frosting and sprinkle with shaved chocolate.
