This is an easy cake if you need a quick dessert. You can make a trifle or cut it in 3 layers for a layered cake. This dessert gets more moist by the day...it just won't last long. :-)

    Arrange 1/3 of the cake pieces in the bottom of the trifle dish. Drizzle 1/3 of the strawberry topping over cake. Spoon on 1/3 of the pineapple mixture. Spoon on 1/3 cool whip
  • 5
    Repeat layers until the ingredients are used up. End with cool whip for topping or use Reddy Whip in the can for a decorative topping. Cherry, sprinkles, on top...(optional idea)
