INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 2 (8 or 9 inch) white cake layers, baked and cooled
  • 2 pints fresh strawberries
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 pint fresh blueberries
  • 2 bananas
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 1 (3.5 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup blanched slivered almonds
  • 12 maraschino cherries

DIRECTIONS

  1. Slice strawberries and sprinkle them with sugar. Cut the bananas into slices and toss with orange juice. Combine pudding mix with milk and mix until smooth. Cut the cake into 1 inch cubes.
