How to Make Fruity Angel Food Cake Trifle

  1. Prepare the pudding: In a mixing bowl, beat 2 cups of milk with 1 (3.4 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix on low speed for 2 minutes until smooth and creamy.
  2. Set aside the pudding to allow it to thicken slightly.
  3. Slice and prepare the cake: Carefully slice the angel food cake horizontally into three even layers. If your cake is larger than your trifle bowl (approximately 9 inches in diameter), trim the edges to fit or cut the cake into 1-inch cubes.
  4. Layer the trifle: Place one layer of angel food cake in the bottom of a 5-quart trifle bowl (or a 9-inch diameter serving bowl).
  5. Add the first layer of filling: Top with one-third of the prepared pudding, one-third of the whipped topping (approximately 8 ounces, one container), and one-third of your desired fruit (about 2 cups, such as berries, peaches, or mandarin oranges).
  6. Repeat layering: Repeat steps 4 and 5 two more times, ending with a layer of cake.
  7. Chill and serve: Cover the trifle and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to blend and the trifle to set.
  8. Garnish and enjoy: Before serving, garnish the trifle with extra fruit, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar. Serve chilled and enjoy!
