1 cup chocolate frosting

Prepare and bake cake according to package directions, using a 13x9-in. baking pan. Cool completely on a wire rack.
Cut cake into 1-in. cubes. Place half of the cubes in a 6-qt. glass punch bowl. Top with half of the sliced strawberries; drizzle with half of the strawberry glaze. Spread with 3-1/2 cups whipped topping.
