Fallen Cake Trifle

My first attempt to make angel food cake from scratch ended in a fallen cake!


But it was still good-tasting cake!

When you have lemons, make lemonade.

So the fallen cake became Trifle




Tear or cut cooled cake into bite size pieces.

Make a batch of cooked chocolate pudding for one pie (you want the thicker version). I used the Make-a-Mix Pudding and Pie Mix recipe.

After pudding has cooled some add 1 cup sour cream–this is a key ingredient. Cover with plastic wrap to prevent a skin and refrigerate.

Have a bowl of strawberries sliced, sprinkle a little sugar or stevia on to help draw the juice and let set for a little while.

When pudding has completely cooled.

Arrange layers in the following order:

1/2 cake pieces on bottom

1/2 strawberries–you can arrange nicely around the outside of the bowl to make it fancy looking

1/2 pudding/pie filling

1/2 cake pieces

1/2 strawberries

1/2 pudding/pie filling

Cover with plastic wrap and chill at least 4 hours.

To serve you can garnish with more strawberries, whip cream, and/or chocolate curls.
