FRUITY ANGEL FOOD CAKE TRIFLE



Fruity Angel Food Cake Trifle image

From Quick Cooking 2003 Measure the trifle bowl to the cake and if the diameter of the cake is larger than the bowl, trim it to fit or you can cut the cake into cubes. Very pretty presentation. Allow 3 hours to chill before serving.

Time 3h20m

Yield 20 serving(s)

4 cups cold milk
2 (3 1/2 ounce) packages vanilla instant pudding mix
1 prepared angel food cake (approx 8-inch diameter)
1 (8 ounce) carton frozen whipped topping, thawed
