Ingredients

• 1 (10.75-ounce) package frozen pound cake, thawed
• 2 (3.4-ounce) packages instant vanilla pudding mix
• 4 cups cold milk
• 1 (8-ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
• 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
• 1 pint fresh blueberries

Instructions

1. Prepare the pound cake: Slice the thawed pound cake into 1-inch cubes. Set aside.
2. Make the pudding: In a large bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and 4 cups of cold milk for 2 minutes, or until thickened. Let stand for 5 minutes.
3. Start layering: In a large glass trifle bowl (or a clear serving bowl), arrange half of the pound cake cubes in an even layer at the bottom.
4. Add red layer: Top the cake with half of the sliced strawberries.
5. Add white layer: Carefully spoon half of the prepared vanilla pudding over the strawberries, spreading gently to cover.
6. Add more white: Spread half of the thawed whipped topping evenly over the pudding layer.
7. Add blue layer: Scatter half of the fresh blueberries over the whipped topping.
8. Repeat layers: Repeat the cake, strawberry, pudding, whipped topping, and blueberry layers, using the remaining ingredients.
9. Chill: Cover the trifle bowl loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the cake to absorb moisture.
10. Serve: Garnish with a few extra berries if desired before serving.
