Method

Cut cakes, lengthwise, into 1/2-inch slices. In a medium bowl combine mashed strawberries, 2 Tablespoons orange juice and 1/2 cup granulated sugar. Stir to blend. Set aside. In another bowl combine mashed raspberries, 2 Tablespoons orange juice and 1/2 cup granulated sugar. Stir to blend. Set aside. In a large bowl combine cream cheese, pudding mix, cream, milk and powdered sugar. With a hand-held electric mixer or whisk, beat until mixture is well blended and foamy. Set aside for 5 minutes. Arrange 1/3 of the cake slices in a 13x9x2-inch baking dish. Pour the strawberry mixture over the cake slices and cover with 1/3 of the pudding mixture. Cover with another 1/3 of the cake slices, the raspberry mixture and another 1/3 of the pudding mixture. Cover with the remaining cake slices and the remaining pudding mixture. Smooth the top and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate 4-8 hours. In a small bowl, combine strawberry puree with 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and stir to blend. Cut "lasagna" into squares. Spoon strawberry puree over each slice to resemble tomato sauce.

 

Notes: An easy, unusual dessert.
