Devil's Food Cake with Fluffy Strawberry Icing



Icing: Gently stir 2 tubs of cool whip and about 1/2 a package of strawberry gelatin powder for flavor and color. Refrigerate.


Bake Devil's Food Cake mix in 2 8 or 9 inch round pans according to package directions. Let cool completely. Invert one of the two cakes onto a platter rounded side down. Smooth a layer of icing onto top of cake. Invert other cake, rounded side down onto first layer. Smooth a first layer of icing all over cake. Then another layer to cover up the "crumb layer." For garnish, take 1 ounce square of semisweet baker's chocolate and heat in microwave a 10 second intervals until you can smudge it with you finger. Then, take a vegetable peeler and peel a few shavings, and set aside. Then put the rest of the chocolate square into the microwave and melt according to package. Stir into a small sandwich bag, and snip a tiny hole from one of the corners. drizzle the melted chocolate over the cake to decorate however you want. Then add the chocolate shavings to the center of the cake. Refrigerate or serve immediately.
