Strawberry Trifle

"This is a modification of a recipe a friend gave me about 15 years ago. This is very simple and always knocks their socks off at potlucks, I think it's the toasted Almonds. While this is a Trifle it doesn't contain Sherry."

directions

  • Bake the cake using eggs, water, and oil. If your cake mix calls for different amounts just go ahead and follow the box directions.
  • As the cake is baking, thaw the strawberries and make the pudding using the milk (again if the box calls for a different amount of milk follow the instructions on the box.).
  • After the cake is cooked, toast the almonds on a cookie sheet for about 5 minutes, becareful not to burn them! Almonds should be lightly browned.
  • Slice the cake into cubes/chunks.
  • Assemble the dessert in a wide and deep bowl as follows: cake, strawberries, pudding, cool whip and almonds. Continue layering until you run out of ingredients or you run out of bowl.
  • As I assemble I pack as much cake as I can in the layer & I usually make sure I'm generous with the strawberries. I also push the layers down to get as many as I can into the bowl. I almost always have stuff left over and assemble the "extras" into another bowl. That way I can have a huge serving the night before I take this to a potluck.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am a bookaholic although I don't get to indulge as much as I'd like. I love to cook but hate to clean up. While I jokingly refer to the food network as food porn I'm just an OK cook who is addicted to Food TV and their cooks especially Alton Brown. <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">
