How To Make Punch Bowl Cake

Prepare Cake: Tear or cut Angel Food Cake into small bite size pieces.

Prepare Pudding: Make Instant Vanilla pudding as directed on the box. When pudding is well mixed; add in half of the whipped topping and stir just until blended.

Set a aside a few strawberries and blueberries to use for the top of the cake.

Add Layers: Now the fun part begins! Start layering your ingredients. Place 1/3 cake pieces in bottom of a large glass bowl.

Top with 1/3 pudding mixture and 1/3 strawberries and blueberries. Next add a light layer of cool whip.

Then repeat layers and top with remaining pudding mixture and a light layer of cool whip.

Garnish: Final touch is to top it with fresh strawberries and blueberries.

Recipe Tips

You can buy a store bought Angel Food cake or bake your own. You can also use pound cake in this recipe.
The Angel Food Cake can be cut up with the crust on it or you can trim off the crust if you prefer.
Prepare fruit ahead of time by washing and allowing to dry. Strawberries will need the stems removed and sliced for layering.
For even more flavor you can use Instant Cheesecake Pudding Mix instead of Vanilla.
This could also be made as individual desserts, served in parfait glasses.
