The night before: prepare the strawberries, plae in a bowl, stir in sugar and vinegar. Store in refrigerator overnight.
Bake the cake and allow it to cool completely. Split the layers and place strawberries and their juice onto the layers and stack.

Weight Watchers Strawberry Cake

1 Box Duncan Hines French Vanilla Cake
16 oz Diet Sprite
16 oz bag frozen strawberries (I use 1 pound of fresh when in season)
1/4 cup Splenda
8 oz fat free cool whip

Preheat oven to 350. Mix cake mix and only 12 oz of diet sprite (reserve 4 ozs for later). Pour in 9 x 13 pan sprayed with Pam. Bake until done (according to package). Slice berries, add 4 oz sprite and splenda. Stir well. Cool cake completely. Spread 1/2 cool whip, then strawberries, the rest of cool whip. Keep refrigeragted.

I punched holes in the cake with a fork so the juice from the berries would soak into the cake.

16 servings = 4 pts.
12 servings = 5 pts.
