Wow! I saw this recipe on the Kraft Foods home page and it looked so yummy, I wanted to make it immediately. And, it is almost midnight here! I shall refrain until tomorrow, but I am sure it is going to be so delicious; it will not last for very long around this house.

For this recipe, you will need milk, sour cream, sugar, all purpose baking mix (I prefer Bisquick), one box of JELL-O vanilla instant pudding and pie filling, Cool Whip, and strawberries.

To prep for this recipe, wash and slice enough strawberries to have 4 cups worth for the recipe. Also, set your Cool Whip out so it can thaw.

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk 1/2 cup of milk, 1/4 cup of sour cream, and 3 tablespoons of sugar. Once that is mixed well, add in 2 1/4 cups of the all purpose baking mix. Grease a 9 inch round cake pan and pour your batter into it. Allow this to cook for about 15 minutes or until the top is brown. Remove from the oven then remove the cake from the pan. Allow it to cool on a wire rack.

While that is cooking, mix the box of vanilla pudding mix with 1/2 cup of milk. Once that is mixed well, stir in half of the Cool Whip. In a large bowl, mix the 4 cups of sliced strawberries in with 1/3 cup of sugar.

Once your cake is cool, slice it in half horizontally. Place the bottom part on a large plate or cake tray. Spread half of the strawberry mixture on top of it. Then add half of the pudding/Cool Whip mixture. Place the top part of the cake on top of that and cover it with the remaining pudding/Cool Whip mixture. Finally, add the rest of the strawberry mixture. Store the shortcake in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Thanks Nicole - I was going to make it tonight, but I forgot the vanilla pudding mix, so I have to run to the store (again).
