Summer Velvets Trifle

My friend had a cake mix waiting for me when 

I came into work this past week...

There's a great trifle recipe on the back of the box 

and I just stepped it up a notch with a dreamy, 

creamy, pudding layer and added blackberries

 and cherry pie filling...

Yum!

Summer Velvets Trifle

1 box Summer Velvets Cake Mix--bake as directed 

but substitute milk for the water

1 small box instant French Vanilla Pudding

1 3/4 cup milk

1 can Sweetened Condensed Milk

16 oz cool whip, divided

1 can cherry pie filling

8 oz blackberries mixed with blueberry glaze 

(usually by the fresh blueberries)

Bake the cake in the 2 cake pans as directed on box.  

Cool and cut into squares.  

Mix the pudding mix and milk; let sit for a couple of minutes.

Stir in the  sweetened condensed milk.

Fold in 8 oz of the cool whip.

In your glass bowl, layer 1/2 of the cake cubes, 

1/2 the pudding mixture, 1/2 the fruit; layer again. 

Spread remaining 8 oz cool whip on top. 

Refrigerate before serving.  

**You can use strawberries and blueberries if you wish--

for the cherries and blackberries.
