Preparation
Step 1
PREHEAT oven to 350°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.
*Kraft Kitchens Tips*
Notes from the Kraft Kitchens:
To prevent the baked cake layers from sticking to the pans, generously grease and flour the cake pans (or line them with parchment paper) and allow for the full 30 min. cooling time before removing the layers from the pans. Also, be sure to swirl the two batters together evenly. If you live in a high-altitude location, follow the High Altitude Directions on the cake mix package and to help prevent the batter from overflowing, use 9-inch round cake pans.
How to Prevent Air Bubbles:
To release any air bubbles from the cake batter, lightly tap filled cake pans on counter before baking. Any small air bubbles will rise to the surface.
How to Swirl Batter:
Use a teaspoon to swirl the two colors of batter. It is perfect for lifting and pulling the two colors together.
How to Keep the Cake Plate Clean:
Make 4-inch square in center of cake plate with four 3-inch-wide strips of waxed paper. Stack and frost cake layers as directed in center of waxed paper square. Any frosting drippings will land on the waxed paper, keeping the plate clean! Remove waxed paper strips after frosting top and side of cake with remaining whipped topping.
High Altitude Directions:
Cakes tend to stick more when baked at high altitudes, so be sure to follow the High Altitude Directions on the cake mix package. Also, grease the pans well and dust with flour or line with parchment paper before using. To prevent the batter from overflowing, use 9-inch round cake pans instead.
