I made this to have a light dessert after a heavy lasagna dinner last month and my mother asked me to bring it to the Thanksgiving get-together. I actually didn't taste it, but she's very picky so it must be good! On the advise of others, I didn't use the milk and apparently it turned out fine.

I make this all the time and my family loves it. I mix some strawberries with the cool whip mixture and frost the entire cake. I have also made it with fresh peaches and it is just as good.

This recipe was very simple to make and delicious. I did have a little trouble with the filling squeezing out from the sides as I put the cake layers on. It was messy.

I thought this recipe was pretty good and my family enjoyed it also. I only had one skeptic, she didn't like it because i put it in the refrigerator, and it also "fell apart" easily. I disagreed. I loved it. I didn't use as much cool whip as called for though, and on the top of the cake i used strawberry syrup to decorate.

I made this for our annual Mothers Day cookout and everyone loved it. Some who said they were too full from dinner to eat dessert changed their minds when they saw the cake!

Was delicious and everyone thought it was very impressive because it looked complicated. I used lite cool whip to save on calories and no one noticed. Filling becomes runny after sitting but, I think that is unavoidable.
