PUNCH BOWL CAKE RECIPE BY PAULA DEEN

Holy Cow, I made a dessert. I am not really a baker anymore because quite frankly I love baked goods too much to have them in my house and if they are here I eat them. So it isnt really that often that I make any type of dessert. This was for Mother’s Day and I love to make trifles. I have 3 recipes that I make anytime I need to bring dessert. They are so quick and easy to make and its just something different. I got my trifle bowl in Wal-Mart about 10 years ago and I think it was maybe $10. I would say it was more then worth the investment.

 

Ingredients :

One 17 1/4-ounce pack yellow cake mix

Two 3 1/2-ounce pack instant vanilla pudding mix

One 19-ounce can mashed pineapple, drained

6 medium bananas, sliced

2 pints strawberries

One 24-ounce container Cool Whip

 

Directions :

Prepared cake in 2 9 inch around pans according to instructions. Place 1 layer cake in bottom of a punch bowl. Join half pudding, half of pineapple, 3 divided bananas, half of strawberries, & half the Cooled Whip.
