52 Weeks of Cooking- Week Eight

It's my birthday weekend!

This Sunday I will be turning the big 23. And like the wild adult I am, I will be staying in to bake my own birthday cake.

I'm so crazy.

Since I have things going on tonight (Whoo! Party!), I figured while I was just sitting her, I would write the post early and then just edit it when I make the cake sometime Sunday.

By the way, I got this recipe from allrecipes.com. They also have a video to go along with it.

Ingredients

1 package (2-layer size) white cake mix

1 pkg. (4 serving size) JELL-O Brand Strawberry Flavor Gelatin

2/3 cup BREAKSTONE'S or KNUDSEN Sour Cream

2/3 cup powdered sugar

1 (8 ounce) tub COOL WHIP Whipped Topping, thawed

1 1/2 cups sliced strawberries

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour two 8- or 9-inch round cake pans; set aside.

Prepare cake batter as directed on package. Pour half of the batter into medium bowl. Add dry gelatin mix; stir until well blended. Spoon half of the white batter and half of the pink batter, side-by-side, into each prepared pan. Swirl batters together using a teaspoon.

Bake 30 min. Cool 30 min. in pans. Remove to wire racks; cool completely.

Mix sour cream and powdered sugar in medium bowl until well blended.

Gently stir in whipped topping. Place one of the cake layers on serving plate; spread top with 1 cup of the whipped topping mixture.

Top with 1 cup of the strawberries and remaining cake layer.

Spread top and side of cake with remaining whipped topping mixture. Top with remaining 1/2 cup strawberries just before serving.

Store any leftover cake in refrigerator
