Use only a very large-holed straw or the long handle of a wooden spoon to make the holes in the top of the cake or the strawberry puree will not penatrate, the holes must be at least 3/4-inch large for this. Plan well in advance the baked cake must be room temperature before topping with the puree, then there are two 2-hour chilling times after, to save time you can bake the cake a day ahead, cool then cover with plastic wrap, prep time includes chilling times. Do not make the mistake of making this into a layer cake the topping will not hold onto the sides of the cake ;-) Yellow or lemon flavor cake mix works well for this or you can use Betty Crocker Super Moist Strawberry Cake Mix. This cake is nothing short of absolutely *FANTASTIC*

Steps:
- Prepare the cake as directed on the package and bake in a 13 x 9-inch baking pan; cool to room temperature.
- Using a straw poke holes all over the top of the cake almost to the bottom about 1-inch apart (make large enough and deep holes, the more holes the better!).
- In a processor or blender puree the thawed strawberries until smooth, then slowly drizzle over the top of the cake paying more attention to the holes.
- Refrigerate for 2 hours.
- For the topping; prepare the pudding mix using 1 cup only of half and half cream and add in the 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch to the pudding mixture while mixing; beat until smooth and thickened.
- Fold in the thawed Cool Whip until combined.
- Spread over the top of the cake (cake must be completely cold before topping).
- Arrange the sliced strawberries on top in a decorative pattern.
- Refrigerate for 2 or more hours before serving.
