Recipe Club - Strawberry Shortcake Dessert

I get together once a month with the girls in the neighborhood and we all bring a recipe to share, we have a great time talking (and tasting)...here is the recipe I brought this month:

Strawberry Shortcake Dessert - by Kathy Klindt

« White Cake Mix (prefer Betty Crocker sour cream white)

♥ Prepare as per directions. Pour into 2 greased pans 9x13. Batter will be really thin, bake for 15 minutes.

« 2 pkg Danish Dessert (prefer raspberry but strawberry is also good or use the prepared Sugar Free Version)

♥ Prepare as per directions with 1 ¾ water per pkg (3 ½ total) – Add some sugar if desired to Danish Dessert vs. sprinkling over strawberries as it will keep dessert from separating.

« 2 ea cream cheese (8 oz ea)

« 2 cups powdered sugar

« 1 8 oz carton Cool Whip

♥ Beat together and spread on the two cooled cakes.

« Strawberries (lots – enough for the two cakes)

♥ Fold cut strawberries into Danish Dessert mixture and put on top of cream cheese layer.

♥ Chill for a couple of hours.
