Strawberry Poke Cake

This has always been a favorite of our family.  It is easy to make and very moist, light and refreshing.  It’s perfect to take to a summer barbecue.  Always keep it in the fridge.

Ingredients:
1 box strawberry cake mix, baked according to package directions
1 box frozen strawberries in sugar, thawed
1 small pkg. vanilla pudding
1 small 8oz. container cool whip

Directions:
Make your cake mix as directed on the package.  Remove from oven and let cool.  Blend in your blender the frozen strawberries in sugar until smooth.  Poke a good sized hole one at a time (I use the end of my wooden spoon) and immediately fill with the strawberry filling.  Continue doing this until you have poked holes in the entire cake.  Any leftover filling pour over the top of the cake.

For frosting:  Mix your box of vanilla pudding mix, using the pie filling recipe.  Let chill in fridge for 10 minutes.  Then lightly fold in your cool whip.  Spread over cake.  Keep in the fridge.
