Cool thoroughly according to package directions. With a sharp serrated knife, cut each cake layer in half horizontally, resulting in four (4) very thin cake layers.While cake layers are cooling, prepare pudding according to package directions, using only 1 3/4 cups milk. Stir 1/4 cup amaretto or 1 teaspoon almond extract into hot prepared pudding; cool pudding and then chill for 30 minutes. In a chilled deep medium bowl, beat cream with chilled beaters until soft peaks are formed. Add sugar to taste, if desired. Fold whipped cream or 2 cups whipped topping into chilled pudding.Arrange one cake layer on a serving plate; spread a coating of one-third of the pudding mixture over cake layer. Arrange a layer of sliced strawberries over pudding filling. Top with a second cake layer, then one-half the remaining pudding, and another layer of sliced strawberries. Repeat process with third cake layer, then remaining pudding, and another layer of strawberries. Top with the fourth (4th) cake layer. Set cake/torte aside.In a chilled deep medium bowl, beat 2 cups cream with chilled beaters until soft peaks are formed. Gradually beat in sugar to taste and amaretto or almond extract, if desired, until mixture forms stiff peaks. Or, use 1 (8 ounce) container whipped topping of choice (see note). Evenly spread sweetened flavored whipped cream or whipped topping over top and sides of cake. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Just before serving, decorate top of cake with additional sliced strawberries and toasted almonds. Press additional almonds into topping around side of cake, if desired.
