This was so good my cousin Reetha threatened me with physical violence unless I shared the recipe.

Great dessert!

I will absolutely be making this again. I made it for my Easter dinner dessert and it was a huge hit. I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfectly. I was a little unsure of adding the toasted almonds, but truly, it was the perfect compliment to the sweet cake. This is a great, light dessert!

this was an awesome cake !!! people buzzed through this in record time!!! used best of the egg for the whites. made a cream cheese frosting and drizzled some of the leftover strawberry juice over the top, for a cool look. didn't have sliced berries or almonds. this recipe could make some interesting cakes with different jellos and fruit selections.

So yummy! Perfect strawberry flavor! The only thing I had trouble with was the whipped topping. I needed way more than the recipe called for. So I used more!
