  • 1 package 6 ounces of instant vanilla pudding
  • 1 large can of crushed pineapple drained
  • 2 packages 10 ounces each of frozen strawberries
  • 2 bananas
  • 1 carton 16 ounces of Cool Whip

Instructions

  • Begin by preheating the oven to 350°F.
  • Prepare the cake batter according to the instructions on the box.
  • Divide the batter equally between two round cake pans.
  • Bake the cakes and then set them aside to cool.
  • Mix the instant pudding and refrigerate it.
  • Cut one of the cake layers into small chunks and place them in a punch bowl.
  • Spread half of the pudding on top of the cake pieces, followed by half of the crushed pineapple and one package of frozen strawberries.
  • Slice one banana and place it on top. Then, add half of the Cool Whip, making sure to spread it evenly.
  • Repeat the same steps with the other layer, ending with a layer of Cool Whip.
  • Refrigerate the cake overnight to allow the strawberries to thaw and their juices to infuse into the cake. Serve chilled.
