Ingredients:
1 18.25 oz. package yellow cake mix and all the ingredients that make the cake (or homemade recipe)
1 20 oz. can crushed pineapple, drained (I just drain a little bit)
1 5 oz. package instant vanilla pudding mix (or 3 cups homemade custard)
1 21 oz. can Strawberry Pie Filling or Cherry (or fresh strawberries)
1 16 oz. pkg. frozen whipped topping, thawed (or homemade whipped cream)
Directions:
Prepare the cake mix as directed by the package directions.
Bake in a 9x13 inch pan, or two 8 inch round pans. Cool the cake; set aside.
Prepare the vanilla pudding according to package directions; set aside (if making homemade custard, let it cool completely).
Crumble the cake in large chunks into the bottom of the punch bowl.
Spoon the pineapple over the cake, pour the pudding over the pineapple, spoon the strawberry pie filling over the pudding, then top with the whipped topping.
Place in the refrigerator for 2 hours or overnight. Serve cold.
