Cream Cheese Cake with Sweet Berry Glaze - Crowd Pleaser...every time!

This is a wonderfully moist cake topped with a cream cheese frosting and fresh berries in a sweet glaze. It's a cake but, it doesn't serve like "just a cake!" It's elegant and fancy and relatively simple to make. The great thing about it is that it's not only delicious and beautiful but it also feeds a crowd. My mom has been serving this for years at large functions and I first served it to a group of teenagers and adults (YW in excellence night) and it was a huge hit, as it has been since. We had this for our Easter party here this year too. It's a must try.


Ingredients:
~ 1 box white cake mix
~ 2 pks cream cheese (I use low-fat)
~ 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
~ 1/4 cup milk
~ 1 box raspberry danish dessert (found with pudding and jello in the supermarket)
~ 1 1/2 cups water
~ 1 to 2 bags frozen mixed berries (whatever are your favorites)
~ 1 8 oz container of whipped cream

Description:
Make cake mix according to package directions. Pour into a greased cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes. Cool completely.

Mix cream cheese, 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar and 1/4 cup milk until creamy. Spread on cooled cake.

Mix danish dessert with water. Boil and cook about 1 minute. Cool and add berries.

Cut cake into large slices. Place onto dessert plates, top with berry mixture and a dollop of whipped cream. Beautiful!
