Just a little slice o' heaven

I was told to give praise, love and support to the members of our school's PBIS committee tomorrow... Well, what better way to spread love and praise than by baking? And since it is glorious weather and such a nice Spring- I sprung the sign of spring/summer: The Strawberry! So here is my creation for this lovely late March night...and it incorporates two of my favorites: chocolate and strawberries.

Strawberry Covered Chocolate Cake

1 chocolate cake mix- with all that you need for the cake
2 boxes of vanilla pudding- with all that you need for the pudding
2 cups sliced and sweetened strawberries- I sweeten with Splenda
8-10 Strawberry halves

1. Prepare the chocolate cake as directed- however, use coffee instead of water- YOU will LOVE the kick it gives to the chocolate. Also, I use a spring form pan for this one... Allow to cool.
2. Prepare pudding as directed. Set aside
3. Pour the strawberries over the cake. Then pour the pudding over the berries. Add the other berries on top of the pudding layer.

Allow the cake to set up in the fridge at least two hours!

I would say this is Dave tested and Dave approved, but as he would point out, this is NOT for him.... :(
