This cake was amazing! I made it for my mother in laws birthday. It looks so pretty and light on the outside with the cool whip and strawberries. Everyone was surprised when we cut it and their was moist chocolate cake inside. I tried to use regular cooking spray because I was out of the baking stuff and the cake was pretty stuck in there. Came out ok but if I made it again I would use the right kind.

I reduced cooking time to 20-25 minutes, however, this is a wonderful cake that I always get compliments on!

This recipe is awesome! I did add one egg and an egg white as suggested previously instead of egg substitute and also frosted the cake with the Chocolate Cream Cream Frosting recipe from CL. For decoration I topped the cake with strawberries. I made it for my sister's birthday...Everyone raved about it!
