This was wonderful! I tried to cut back on fat and calories because it was for home: I used a white cake mix that called for egg whites and 1/3 cup oil (I used half applesauce, and half oil). The sugar called for in the recipe is used to make the strawberries release their natural juices, but I used only 1 Tbl. It made for a little drier layer, but was still good. (You really need to let the strawberries sit for 15-20 minutes so they release their juices, by the way.) I also used skim milk for the pudding, and 8 oz. fat-free Cool Whip, spread as a middle layer as well as the topping. Very light, yet was still a great dessert! Thanks for the recipe!

This dessert will bring ooh's and aah's wherever you take it. It's beautiful and easy. First off, I don't make the cake - buy a pound cake or angel food cake! I do use a egg slicer to slice the strawberries. I don't use bananas with OJ nor the cherries or almonds. I top it with a few neatly placed strawberries. Excellent!!! I never thought I'd ever have a use for my trifle bowl but this recipe keeps it busy!

This is a great recipe! I used fat free cool whip in place of the whipping cream, as others suggested. It was a beautiful and delicious dessert!

This is so delicious and beautiful! I took it over to a barbeque, and even my friend who is a chef went on and on about how great it was. The only change I made was to sprinkle 1/4 c. of brandy over each layer of cake (I used angelfood cake). I can't wait to make it again!

This is a lovely trifle recipe. Another recipe I've used does not call for sugaring the strawberries, so I was a bit concerned that this might be too sweet. It turned out beautifully, though, as the sugar created a nice syrup which helped moisten the cake (I used angel cake). I also added some sliced kiwifruit along with the other fruit. People went wild for this dessert--it's one I'll make often. Thanks for posting it!

It was really good but I found the cake a bit dry, so I added some more orange juice.

Awesome dessert. Used cheesecake pudding as well. Everyone in my familly gave it 5 stars. Next time will probably use twice the ammount of pudding though and create a bottom layer of pudding under the first layer of cake. Simply the best!

This recipe is equally as good made with bakery angelfood cake and fat free sugar free instant puddings and Free Cool Whip for fewer calories. If more orange flavor is desired add a teaspoon of frozen OJ concentrate.

This was easy to do and tastes divine! :) I had a bit too much white cake leftover though. I put my trifle into a large glass bowl, not an actual trifle bowl. But, I'd definitely make it again.

Wow! What a light and refreshing summertime dessert. This trifle was a huge hit. I substituted kiwi for the bananas and used cheesecake flavored pudding - YUM! Thanks for sharing, Teri.

My family just can't get enough of this with fresh summer fruit and berries. So good and refreshing. I add 2 kiwi to the fruit listed in the recipe. It adds some nice color. Also, I use cheesecake flavor pudding rather than the vanilla. This is a great make ahead dessert.

This is a yummy dessert, it makes plenty and is a crowd pleaser. It does not get mushy if you refrigerate over night overall it is a very light, summer dessert.
