Strawberry Vanilla Pudding Cake

1 box Yellow Cake Mix
1 large box Instant Vanilla Pudding
1 lb Fresh Strawberries, chopped
1 pint Fresh Whipping Cream
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
2 tablespoons Sugar

Follow the directions on the back of the box of cake mix and pour into a 9 x 13 inch pan or baking dish.  While the cake is baking prepare vanilla pudding according to the directions on the box and chill in the refrigerator. 

Remove cake from the oven and allow to cool completely.  Next,  spread the vanilla pudding all over the top of the cake and add about half of the strawberries on top.

Fresh Whipped Cream

Place a metal mixing bowl and metal whisk into the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes. Place the sugar into the mixing bowl and add the whipping cream and vanilla. Whisk just until the cream reaches stiff peaks.  

Next, add the fresh whipped cream and spread to cover top of cake.   Add remaining chopped strawberries on top. Chill until ready to serve.  Store any unused portion in an airtight container for up to 10 hours.
