Dessert

Now I realize that most people are posting beautiful pictures of their kids or family decked out in their Easter finest. Well, our Easter pictures will be re-creates because I took no such pictures today (but that’s ok because a picture is a picture whether it’s taken on the day or not). But I did take a picture of my AMAZING dessert! So if you need an easy and delicious dessert to feed a small army of people (or a big family plus a few guests) this is the perfect dessert for you!

Punch bowl cake (I have no idea of its real name)

Get your ingredients and a big old punch bowl……we are making a cake!

One yellow or white cake – baked

2 boxes of Vanilla Pudding – or if you are a from scratch kind of gal, make your own

1 large container of cool whip

Fresh Fruit or berries

I baked my white cake in two 9 inch round pans the day before because I had a lot of food prep to do today……that worked great! After the cakes cooled I put them in an air tight container and they were ready to use this afternoon.

I got out my punch bowl and crumbled (in large chunks) a little over half of the first cake.

Next I added 1/3 of my vanilla pudding.

I had planned to just make this a strawberry punch bowl cake, but the raspberries and black berries looked SO good at Kroger I decided to mix it up a little! My first layer of fruit was fresh strawberries. On top of the strawberries I added a layer of cool whip.

After the cool whip I started again with the cake chunks and pudding. But for my fruit layer I did the raspberries and black berries……oh so yummy!

Then I added my third and final layer and two whole strawberries to garnish the top. Not only was it beautiful, but VERY tasty too!
