    List of Ingredients




    1 (18 1/4-ounce) package yellow cake mix *
    1 cup raspberry jam, divided**
    1 (29-ounce) can sliced peaches, drained (reserve juice)
    1/2 cup sherry, or brandy, divided (optional)***
    1 (6-serving size) vanilla pudding mix (not instant)
    3 cups milk

    Recipe



    * A purchased sponge cake may be subsituted.
    ** Your favorite jam can be substituted.
    *** You can omit the liquor if you don't use alcohol in your cooking.

    Prepare the yellow cake according to package directions using a 9-inch cake pan (reserve one layer for another use). Slice one baked cake layer horizontally into two equal layers.

    Place one sliced layer into a trifle dish or a large glass bowl with straight sides; cover with 1/2 cup jam and half of the sliced peaches. Pour approximately half of the reserved peach juice over the cake or until it is moist but not sloppy. Pour 1/4 cup sherry or brandy over the top, as evenly as possible. Place the second sliced cake layer on top and cover with remaining jam and peaches; pour remaining peach juice and sherry or brandy over the top.

    Prepare the vanilla pudding according to package directions, using the 3 cups of milk. Pour hot pudding over the top of the cake; let cool. When cool, spread with whipped cream. Decorate with toasted sliced almonds. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.

    Makes 10 to 12 servings.
