CHOCOLATE STRAWBERRY CAKE

This is another one of Kathy's famous cakes. I don't believe I have had this one yet either. Not sure she has brought one like this to work. Sounds yummy though.

1 box cake mix – (Duncan Hines “Butter Recipe” is the best)
1 box chocolate pudding

Pour chocolate pudding into cake mix; continue preparing as directed on cake mix box. Bake in a 13”x 9” pan on temperature as stated on cake mix.

After the cake is removed from the oven, poke several holes in the cake with a drinking straw or something round about the size of a straw. Pour chocolate glaze (recipe below) over cake. Layer sliced strawberries over the cake and top with cool whip.

Semi-Sweet Chocolate Glaze

3 squares semi-sweet chocolate
3 tablespoons water
1-tablespoon butter or margarine
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2-teaspoon vanilla

Microwave chocolate, water, and butter in large bowl on HIGH 1 to 2 minutes until chocolate is almost melted, stirring once. After microwaving for 1 to 2 minutes, continue to stir the chocolate until it is completely melted. Stir in the powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth. For a thinner glaze, add 1/2 to 1 teaspoon additional water. Makes approx. 3/4 cup of glaze. Refrigerate cake.
