You will need a white cake mix either from a box or a homemade favorite from scratch. I used two 9in cake pans. 
I slices up 4 cups of strawberrys and added 1/4 cup of sugar and put them in the fridge to set for a while, and let the juices come out. Mine stayed in the fridge for a few hours before I used them.

(My brand new cutting board now has a big red spot that won't come off.) The next thing is to make your cool whip, and yes you can buy it in a tub at the grocery store, but this is much better. First make sure your heavy whipping cream is really cold the best thing is to leave it in the fridge until right before you need it. Place your metal mixing bowl along with your metal mixer attachments in the freezer for 15 minutes. Also have a 1/4 cup of sugar ready to use. After your 15 minutes are up measure out 1 cup of heavy whipping cream, and combine that with your 1/4 cup of sugar in your chilled mixing bowl. My hand mixer has seven speed settings I set mine to 5 and let it go. 
You will mix this until it forms soft peaks, you will notice after several minutes when it starts to go from a liquid to a soft fluffy texture. Once your done with your whipped cream you can start the assembly of your cake. Also very important made sure your cake is completely cooled. Place your cake on the cake stand and then half your strawberries and there juices over that. Add your layer of whipped cream and do the same for the next layer. Now I made two batches of the whipped cream I used a good bit if it on the middle, and top. You can use just one batch but if your like me the whipped cream is my favorite part of the cake. So with the second batch I coated the sides and the rest of the top I didn't get the first time.

- box cake mix (white) plus anything that recipe calls for (or your recipe for homemade cake batter)
- 4 cups of strawberries
-1/4 cup sugar
Whipped Cream Icing
-1/4 cup sugar
-1 cup heavy whipping cream
*once your done assembling the cake make sure to store it cover in the fridge until your ready to serve it.
This looks messy but it was a wonderful and easy cake to make.
