Ingredients:

1 white cake mix (the best kind would be a very moist type of cake mix)
2 bananas (firm, but not green.. nor too ripe)
1 qt strawberries (fresh)
1 large tub Cool Whip

Directions:

Bake cake, according to directions on box, in 2 round cake pans.
When cake is done, remove from pans & let completely cool. (place on wax paper to avoid sticking)
After cake is cooled, cut rounded top off both cakes.
Put 1 cake onto cake plate.

Peel 1 banana and slice into medium slices (not too thin & not too thick.)
Spread banana slices over top of cake.

Spread a thin layer of Cool Whip over bananas.

Clean strawberries and slice into medium slices, same as bananas. Save 4 strawberries for later.
Spread strawberry slices over Cool Whip. Spread another thin layer of Cool Whip over strawberries.

Take the other cake and place on top.
(Repeat directions for bananas, strawberries & Cool Whip.)

Spread the rest of the Cool Whip over entire cake forming a nice even (or rippled effect) layer. (spread carefully so you won't desturb strawberries)

After cake is "iced", place the 4 remaining strawberries on top of the cake to form a sort of design.

Cover cake with a dome-like cover and place into refrigerator until ready to serve. Return left over cake to refrigerator after each serving until completely gone. Cool Whip will melt if you don't keep it cooled.

Note: shredded coconut can be sprinkled in between layers and over top of cake if desired.

**This cake was originally served at a Bridal shower... decorated with small, live, rose buds and babiesbreath around the edge of plate.
