Cherry Angel Food Trifle
"From Quick Cooking 2001 recipe
Light and refreshing dessert. Very pretty in a trifle bowl. Leave time for trifle to chill for at least 4 hours before serving.
Note: Not sure of the size of a normal envelope of dry whipped topping mix - just the standard size is needed. You can use a store bought angel food cake or make one at home."

Really, really outstanding dessert, even if I did make a couple of very, very small changes just to satisfy my own craving for cherries & chocolate! I made the cake (lots of time, what with the forums down right now!) then doubled the amount of cherries, chocolate (also used a homemade chocolate sauce) AND pudding, & we were thoroughly satisfied with the results! Not that I'd make it that way every time I make it again, but I was just in the mood for a cherry-&-chocolate overload, so . . . Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe!

This was a very nice desert....I didn't realize we had to go and buy a cake, as it isn't stated in the ingredients, I'm such a dummy sometimes. I just made a cake at home and cut it into pieces. Made for Newest Zaar Tag.
