Red and White Special Occasion Cake
1 white cake mix
1 box raspberry Danish Dessert
1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese
1 cup sugar
2-3 cups whipping cream or Cool Whip

Prepare cake according to the directions on the box. Bake the cake in a greased and floured jellyroll pan or a cookie sheet with sides. Let cool. Prepare Danish Dessert and set aside to cool, stirring occasionally. Beat cream cheese and sugar until very smooth. Whip cream separately and then fold into cream cheese mixture. Less than 1½ cups cream makes a thicker frosting, more makes a richer cake. Spread the cream on the cold cake, and then top the cream mixture with cooled Danish Dessert. Keep covered and refrigerated.

Variations: mix 2 to 3 cups fresh or frozen strawberries or raspberries into Danish Dessert; use a chocolate cake or a vanilla/chocolate swirl cake.
