1 tbsp. oil
1/2 c. sugar
1 1/2 c. milk
4 drops red food coloring
2 (8 oz.) pkgs. cream cheese
4 eggs
1 tbsp. lemon juice
2 1/2 c. Cool Whip
1 box strawberry cake mix

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Set aside 1 cup cake mix.

CRUST: In large bowl, combine remaining cake mix, one egg and oil. Press this mixture evenly in bottom and 3/4 way up sides of well greased 13 x 9 x 2 inch pan.

FILLING: Blend cream cheese and sugar. Add 3 eggs and the one cup reserved cake mix. Beat 1 minute at medium speed. Then at low speed, slowly add milk, lemon juice and food coloring.

Mix until smooth and pour into crust. Bake 45-55 minutes or until center is firm. When completely cool, spread with Cool Whip topping. Chill before serving.

NOTE: (1) May use two 9 inch pans and bake 40-50 minutes. (2) May vary cake mix flavor. (I've tried lemon - almost as good as strawberry). (3) While cake is cooling, it may split the middle, but it's easily covered with topping.
