Ingredients
- 1 package of vanilla cake mix
- 1 3/4 cups of milk
- 1 package of instant vanilla pudding mix
- 2 cups of fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 2 cups of whipped cream
- 1/4 cup of powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Directions
- Prepare the vanilla cake mix according to the package instructions. Bake it in a 9x13-inch pan and let it cool completely.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the milk and instant vanilla pudding mix until smooth. Let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
- Once the vanilla cake has cooled, cut it into small, bite-sized cubes.
- In a trifle dish or a clear glass bowl, start assembling the layers. Begin with a layer of cake cubes, followed by a layer of sliced strawberries, and then a layer of vanilla pudding. Repeat the layers until all the ingredients are used, ending with a layer of whipped cream on top.
- In a separate bowl, combine the whipped cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Whip until stiff peaks form.
- Gently spread the whipped cream over the top of the trifle, ensuring it covers the entire surface.
- Refrigerate the trifle for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve chilled and enjoy!
