Recipe Introduction

I have been making this since 1973. It ALWAYS brings raves.

List of Ingredients

1 Box single Layer Yellow Cake Mix, prepared as directed on box*
1 16 oz pkg Frozen Strawberries, thawed
1 Can Ready Serve Vanilla Pudding OR
Prepared Vanilla Pudding from a box mix
1 C Chilled Whipping Cream (Heavy Cream)
1/4 C Sugar
1/4 C Slivered Almonds, toasted
5 Whole Strawberries


Recipe

Note: This recipe requires being made a day ahead of being served.
Bake cake in an 8x8 pan; cool and cut into 6 bars. Split each bar horizontally and arrange around sides and bottom of a 2 qt. clear bowl or a trifle bowl**, if you own one.
Pour 1/2 of the thawed berries over cake. Spread with 1/2 the pudding.
Repeat process. Cover and chill 8 hours.
Beat Chilled Cream with sugar until stiff. Spread over trifle, sprinkle with almonds and garnish with whole berries to make a pretty presentation.

Note: I've been making this since 1973 and it always brings raves. It's definitely an 'ooooo ahhhhh' dessert
*I have varied it slightly by sometimes adding a small amount of almond extract to the cake batter before baking.
** A trifle bowl is a straight-sided clear glass bowl, usually footed or it has a pedestal.
