How To Make delightfully cool summer strawberry trifle

Test Kitchen Tips

When assembling, the amount of cake you use will be dependent on the dish it's being layered in. You'll probably only need half a cake for each layer.

Step 1

Bake the vanilla and red velvet cakes per the package directions. After the cakes are done, set them aside to cool.

Step 2

While cakes are cooling, clean strawberries and take off the tops.
Step 3

Slice the strawberries so that when you use them, they lie flat. Set aside in the refrigerator.
Step 4

Add both boxes of pudding mix and 1 1/3 cups of milk to a bowl. Whisk to combine.
Step 5

Fold in one 16 ounce container of whipped topping.
Step 6

To assemble the cake, crumble the cake in a bowl or trifle dish.
Step 7

Top with one of the containers of strawberry glaze.
Step 8

Top with half of the vanilla pudding mixture.
Step 9

Then a layer of strawberries.
Step 10

Then half a container of whipped topping.
Step 11

Then repeat the layers using the red velvet cake mix, remaining strawberry glaze, pudding mixture, strawberries, and end with whipped topping.
Step 12

Refrigerate for about 1 hour, and then it is ready to eat.
