Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 13x9 inch pan or glass baking dish.
Mix cake ingredients together. Beat for about two minutes on high or until smooth. Pour into pan and bake at 350 degrees for 40-42 minutes or until a chopstick or skewer inserted in middle comes out clean.
Let the cake cool for about 20 minutes.
Mix together the filling ingredients. Use a chopstick or metal skewer to poke holes in cake, pour filling into holes. Do this gradually, allowing the liquid to seep down into the cake and along the sides. Let cool a bit more, then transfer to the refrigerator to chill for at least two hours.
Beat cream and sugar until soft peaks form, then add vanilla and continue to beat until peaks are stiff. Spread over the cake. Top with berries or any kind of garnish you like and serve out of the pan.
