Notes
A reader noted in the comments that she uses whipped topping (i.e. Cool Whip) to make this cake, and it has always worked well. I haven't personally tried that yet, but I can totally see how it would work as whipped topping is more stable than whipped cream. If you give this one a shot with whipped topping, let me know how it turns out!
