Pour contents in a greased 9 x 13 cake pan. Let it cool. Poke holes in it. Then follow the directions of a large strawberry jello mix. And pour over the cake. Refrigerate. Take 2 quarts of Strawberries and clean and slice. Lay one layer on top of the cake/jello. Then ice with a container of thawed cool whip. Layer another layer of Strawberries on top.

I make the chocolate version of this dessert.
Bake at 350°F for 15 minutes. Cool completely.
Combine cream cheese and powdered sugar until well blended. Fold in the Cool Whip. Spread over the crust and chill.
Prepare chocolate pudding as directed on pkg. Spread over cream cheese layer. Chill completely.
Prepare vanilla pudding (You can add some peanutbutter to make this a peanutbutter flavored pudding to make it like a reeses peanutbutter cup. Or you can just mix another box of chocolate pudding to keep it all pudding dessert. You can also subsitute both chocolate and vanilla for a banana pudding with sliced banana's)as directed on pkg. Pour over chocolate pudding. Chill completely.
Spread additional Cool Whip over top

This isn't as Thanksgivingy as the apple one I posted, but this is also really good. I always add more fruit than the recipe calls for.

Like minds---this is on the list for my house this year, too! We love the Chocolat Pecan Praline Layer Cake, so thought I would go with the Pumpkin this year!
Thanks for all of the suggestions so far. I will compile a list for her later when I feel most who want to add a recipe have done so. My mouth is watering already!!!
Paula Deens recipe for Mystery Pecan Pie is a must here for Thanksgiving, It has a cream cheese layer baked inside that makes it yummy, Daughter is turning 18 and she said her cake had to be just like last year, chocolate cake, middle layer peanut butter pie filling then for frosting a chocolate truffle filling that I whipped.
Debbie
Debbie would you please post the recipe you made for your daughter - PLEASE! I read that chocolate cake,peanut butter pie filling and a chocolate truffle frosting! My mouth is still drooling....
