Layered Punch Bowl Cake

1) Prepare and bake the cake according to the package directions, and cool completely.

2) Prepare the pudding mix with the milk according to the package directions. Tear the cake into small pieces.

3) Place half the cake pieces in a large punch bowl, and add layers of 1/2 the banana slices, 1/2 the prepared pudding and 1/2 the pineapple.

4) Add 1 can of pie filling, 1/2 of the whipped topping and 1 cup of the pecans.

5) Repeat the layers. Garnish with sliced fresh strawberries if desired.

6) Refrigerate, covered, until serving time. Scoop through all the layers when serving.

Chef's Note & Story

You can substitute any fruit such as blueberries, raspberries and more.
Just be imaginative. This is also great for outings. I find it is best if made the night before and refrigerated.
