The cake will be richer and more delicious. Spray two round 9 inch cake pans with Pam baking spray.

Divide up the cake mix. Wash and slice strawberries thin while cake is baking. (Follow directions on box for baking times and temperatures; you can use a normal oven or your toaster oven for cake.) Promptly remove cake pans from oven and tip them out on wax paper or cooling racks. The layer cakes will stick if theyre allowed to sit in the pan. Once the tiers cool to room temperature, spread jam on the bottom layer. Cover in cream.

Layer strawberry slices on top. Put second layer on top. Repeat cream and berry slices, be artistic! Serve with delicious coffee or tea, and impress your guests with this fancy-ass dessert.
