Favorite Dream Cake

Recipe on product package.

I bought the Kroger store brand of Dream Whip, simply named Whipped Topping Mix and this recipe was on the back. This can be made with the name brand Dream Whip or a store brand of that product. Links to the Shortcuts are listed in the Recipe Notes section.

1 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

For the Cake

Preheat your oven to 180° C (350° F). Grease a bundt pan with butter or cooking spray, and flour the pan as well.
I made the chocolate version of this and used my homemade cake mix for this. If using a boxed mix, just add that to a large mixing bowl.
To the mixing bowl, add the rest of the Base Recipe ingredients as well as any ingredients listed under the Cake Option you are making. Mix with an electric mixer for 2-3 minutes to fully mix everything, optionally you can just mix by hand, which is what I did this time.
Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan.
Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Remove from the oven and place on a rack to cool for 10-15 minutes.
Run a butter knife around the edge, plate plate upside down on the pan, invert the pan and the cake should drop out onto the plate. Allow the cake to cool completely.

For the Icing

Add the icing ingredients to a mixing bowl, and only use 2 tablespoons of milk to start with, add additional milk as needed for the consistency you desire.
Mix together the ingredients until the icing is smooth.
Drizzle over the cooled cake. I really liked the consistency this batch, makes the cake look like a snow capped chocolate mountain.
Slice, serve, and enjoy.
