Chocolate Strawberry Trifle

By , About.com Guide

You can use vanilla or lemon pudding instead of chocolate in this recipe for a different taste sensation.

Prep Time: 25 minutes

Cook Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 18 oz. pkg. yellow cake mix
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/3 cup oil
  • 3 eggs
  • 6 serving size chocolate pudding mix (NOT instant)
  • 3 cups milk
  • 4 cups sliced strawberries
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 3 Tbsp. powdered sugar

Preparation:

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 15x10" jelly roll pan. In large bowl, combine cake mix, water, oil and eggs and beat until moistened. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed and pour batter into prepared cake pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean and cake begins to come away from sides of pan. Cool completely.

In heavy saucepan combine pudding mix and milk and stir with wire whisk until combined. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and comes to a boil. Remove from heat and cool for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

In small bowl, combine cream, vanilla, and powdered sugar and beat until stiff peaks form. Cut cake into 1" pieces and place half in bottom of a large glass bowl. Pour half the cooled pudding over the cake pieces and place half of the strawberries on top. Repeat layers. Top with whipped cream. Chill for 2 hours before serving and store any leftovers, covered, in the refrigerator. 12 servings
