Ingredients

1 package (9 ounces) yellow cake mix
1 can (20 ounces) DOLE pineapple tidbits, drained
2 medium firm bananas, sliced
2 medium peach or nectarines, peeled and sliced

In another bowl, whisk milk and pudding mix for 2 minutes; let stand for 2 minutes or until soft-set.
In a small bowl, beat cream until soft peaks form. Add sugar; beat until stiff peaks form.
In a 3-qt. trifle bowl, layer half of the cake cubes, fruit mixture, pudding and whipped cream. Repeat layers. Top with blueberries, kiwi and remaining strawberries. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.

I made this dessert for my mother’s birthday dinner and everyone really liked it. I was not able to find a small box of yellow cake mix so I substituted a small package of Martha White’s Buttered Pecan Cake Mix. Also, I could not find either fresh peaches or nectarines because they are out of season so I substituted mango.

I was surprised to see no reviews for this dessert as it is my husband's favourite (minus the banana). It is very easy (especially since I use the store bought pound cake) and turns out great every time. In fact when I bring this to potlucks now, I am usually asked to bring two - one for everyone and one for the kitchen staff, otherwise there is none left when they get around to eating :-)
