Convenience items such as store-bought angel food cake, frozen strawberries and instant pudding mix make preparing this refrigerated delight as simple as can be. I whip up this refreshing strawberry dessert all year round. It's particularly attractive when served in a glass dish. —Sherri Daniels, Clark, South Dakota

Can this recipe be made with an angel food cake as opposed to the bought loaf cake?

VERY good! Will definitely make again and might even add cream cheese to the pudding for even more delicious flavor.

I made it, invited the family over to help eat it as only 2 of us. They all enjoyed it. When I make it again I'm not going to use as much whipped cream, I wanted to taste the pudding more.I also only used a half of a cake as I'd used the first half in another strawberry/jello recipe I'd had for many years. My husband said this one is a keeper!

This was very good and easy to make. I made only half of the recipe as there are only two of us. Even our granddaughter liked it.
