I made this as a 13 x 9 cake and after reading the reviews, I also added 3-4 TBLS. of cocoa to the mix. I mixed 4 oz. of cream cheese to the cool whip, and it held up to the cherry pie filling. The girls at work loved it. I am making it for our couples card party tomorrow and I know they are going to want the recipe.

I have made this several times but I make it with 1L Cool Whip and cover all the sides. This is our favourite desert recipe.

I followed the advice that someone else suggested by adding 8oz cream cheese to the whip cream. The cake held up to cutting. I also sprinkled mini chocolate chips on top. I used a small sandwich size Ziploc bag and cut the corner off to use as a decorating bag as I was making this at a friend’s house for her daughter's 9th birthday and did not have a decorating bag available, it made perfect dollops that held each candle. We had a black, red & white theme. The cake was a big success and the chocolate chips were softer on the second day. I think it needed more chocolate chips as it added a nice flavor to the cherries and cream cheese whip cream. (I did not use any sliced almonds or extracts.)

Made this cake for Christmas. It was a WOW! Wish I could add a photo. After reading several of the reviews, I made a few adjustments. Added 2 tsp. of cocoa powder to cake batter; mixed full can of cream cheese frosting to 8 oz. container of whipped topping and refridgerated overnight. Assembled cake the next day. (It made more topping than I needed) It held up alot better than straight whipped topping would have. Will definitely make again!

I made this for our ladies Christmas party this past weekend. Instead of using 2 round pans, I used a 13 x 9 pan. I topped it with some Christmas tree sprinkles. It was the hit of the party!!

Made this for Mother's Day dinner this year, everybody loved it! It was a bit messy, but I kinda attributed it to me being kinda new at some of this

2 of you said that you used cream cheese to help out the whipped topping.. and 1 of you mentioned using the vanilla pudding. Would you say the cream cheese would be the better way to go? Would the vanilla add 1 too many flavors, or is it subtle enough?
Making it for fathers day, need to know for shopping list.
Thanks!!

I make 3 cakes for the Reservation Steak dinner this weekend. We served 36. For each cake, I added 1- 4 serving box of Vanilla Instant Pudding (mixed with 1/2 the recommended amount of milk) then folded the pudding mixture into the non-dairy whipped topping. This prevented the topping from turning watery. It does need to be REFRIGERATED COLD!!! before assembling; however, there were lots of Oh's and "that looks Delicious" in the dining area and no leftovers! Would have been a GREATER RECIPE, except Duncan Hines stopped printing the recipe on the side of the box. It took 2 trips to the store to acquire ALL the extra ingredients.
