Delicious!! Everyone just raved over this dessert and asked for the recipe. I whipped the cream cheese in the mixer first, added the sugar, stirred in the cool whip in by hand then added it to the cake. If you are in a hurry to make this buy a store made cake and the time to make this will be cut in half. But then you would not get the freshen of your own homemade cake. I'll be making this one again. Thanks for a great recipe. Made for Pick A Chef 2006 (Sorry this review is a little late)
