We made this Pumpkin and Angel Food Cake Trifle as a special treat for dessert one night. My son loved it so much that he requested this be a new addition to our family's Thanksgiving dinner. You can also use just the first part of the recipe to make pumpkin pudding! That was delicious too! I had a hard time placing those...

PUMPKIN TRIFLE

One of the nice things about this trifle is the way it uses up leftover cakes that never seem to get eaten! It's convenient, too-it tastes like a traditional pumpkin pie, even though you don't have to make a crust or bake it. My husband's a construction worker and ex-farm boy. When we were first married, it was trial and error to cook like his mother. Now, after 17 years, he says that I've passed the test! We have four children, 13 to 8. So there's another reason I like this trifles-it lasts through two meals at least!
