What You Need

pkg. (2-layer size) chocolate cake mix

eggs

cup BREAKSTONE'S or KNUDSEN Sour Cream, divided

2/3

cup powdered sugar

tub (8 oz.) COOL WHIP Whipped Topping, thawed

cup strawberries, sliced

1/2

cup blueberries

Make It

PREHEAT oven to 350°F. Line 2 (15x10x1-inch) baking pans with foil; spray with cooking spray. Place cake mix, eggs, 1-1/3 cups water and 1/3 cup of the sour cream in large bowl. Beat with electric mixer on low speed 2 minutes; scrape bowl. Beat on medium speed an additional 2 minutes. Pour evenly into prepared pans.

BAKE 15 to 18 minutes or until toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean. Cool completely.

BEAT remaining 2/3 cup sour cream and powdered sugar in large bowl with wire whisk until well blended. Add whipped topping; mix well. Set aside. Toss strawberries and blueberries in separate bowl; set aside.

CUT out 2 cake circles from cake layer in each pan, using a 6-inch saucepan lid. (You will have a total of 4 cake rounds.) Place 1 of the cake rounds on large dessert plate; spread with 1/2 cup of the whipped topping mixture. Top with 1/2 cup of the berry mixture and an additional 1/2 cup of the whipped topping mixture.

COVER with a third cake round. Repeat layers of whipped topping mixture and berry mixture; top with remaining cake layer. Spread top with remaining whipped topping mixture. Garnish with fresh mint and additional berries, if desired. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Store leftover dessert in refrigerator.

Kraft Kitchens Tips

Make it Easy

Instead of layering the berry mixture separately, gently stir the berries into the whipped topping mixture before spreading onto cake rounds.

Substitute

Try your family's favorite cake mix flavor instead of the chocolate cake mix. Or, substitute other types of cut-up fresh fruit for the strawberries and/or blueberries.

Make Ahead

The whipped topping filling can be prepared up to 2 days in advance. Store in tightly covered container in refrigerator until ready to use.
