Prep time: 15 min
Chill time: 3 hours
Serves: 16
Ingredients:
Pound Cake - 16 oz loaf

2. Take a fork and poke holes in the Pound Cake. Set aside.
3. Empty the Instant Pudding mix in a bowl.
4. Add in the cold Milk and whisk.
5. The Milk has to be mixed in fast as the pudding mix sets very quickly.
6. Mix well and pour the Pudding over the cake before the pudding starts to set. Keep aside.
7. Open the can of Fruit Cocktail and drain all the juice from it.
8. Pour the fruit into a bowl and mix in the Whipped Topping.
9. Mix well until all the fruits are well coated.
10. Put a think layer of the fruit/cream topping over the Cake and Pudding.
11. Allow it to chill for 2-3 hours.
12. Serve with a Maraschino Cherry on the top!
Tips:
1. Substitute Fruit Cocktail can for fresh fruits.
2. Substitute Whipped Topping with Heavy Cream, whipped stiff.
3. For super moist cake, dab some fruit juice on the cake before pouring the pudding.
4. To incorporate jelly into the recipe, use any flavor Jello, mix it with needed water and pour over cake before the pudding (In this case, wait until pudding sets and then layer it).

Hi Bhavika,
The pound cake is not eggless. However, the pudding does not have eggs.

Hi Sadia,
Interesting comment. Most people like this cake because it is not too sweet :).
The only place you could get away with adding additional sugar is the milk. Just dissolve as much sugar as you like into the milk before adding it to the pudding mix. That will make the pudding sweeter and add more sweetness to the whole dessert.

Hi Shruti,
Interesting….we’ve never tried it (vanilla just seems to be a neutral flavor for most people), but we’re sure it would taste really good. If you do try it, please post your feedback. We’re love to hear it!
