Ingredients

  • 1 box (16 oz) Betty Crocker™ Pound Cake Mix
  • Water and eggs called for on cake mix box
  • 1/2 lb rhubarb, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (2 cups)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 2 cups sliced strawberries
  • 2 boxes (4-serving size each) vanilla pudding and pie filling mix (not instant)
  • 2 1/2 cups milk
  • 2 cups Cool Whip frozen whipped topping, thawed
  • 1/2 cup orange marmalade
  • 1 cup medium-size whole strawberries, if desired
  • Shredded orange peel, if desired

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F. Make and bake cake mix as directed on box for one 9-inch loaf or two 8-inch loaves, using water and eggs. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pan to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 2 hours.
  • 2
    Meanwhile, in 2-quart saucepan, mix rhubarb, sugar and orange juice. Heat to boiling over medium heat. Reduce heat to low; cook about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until rhubarb is tender and mixture starts to thicken slightly. Cool 30 minutes. Refrigerate about 2 hours or until chilled. Stir in sliced strawberries.
  • 3
    While rhubarb mixture is cooling, in 2-quart saucepan, mix pudding mix and milk. Cook over medium heat 6 to 7 minutes, stirring constantly, until mixture boils. Cool 15 minutes. Press plastic wrap directly on pudding to prevent a tough layer from forming on top. Refrigerate at least 2 hours until chilled. Fold in whipped topping.
  • 4
    Cut pound cake horizontally in half. Spread marmalade over bottom half. Top with top half. Cut into 18 slices. Place 9 slices in bottom of 2 1/2- to 3-quart trifle or serving bowl.
  • 5
    Spoon half of the rhubarb mixture over cake; top with half of the pudding. Repeat layers with remaining cake, rhubarb mixture and pudding. Cover; refrigerate at least 2 hours until chilled.
  • 6
    Arrange whole strawberries on top of trifle. Garnish with orange peel. Store covered in refrigerator.

  • Want to use real whipped cream? Beat 1 cup whipping cream and 3 tablespoons granulated or powdered sugar in a chilled medium bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff.
  • Prepare the trifle through step 5, then refrigerate up to 24 hours before serving.
  • Two cups of frozen unsweetened rhubarb, thawed and well drained, can be substituted for the fresh rhubarb.
  • Purchase a baked pound cake loaf instead of making the cake mix. Or buy 1 package (16 oz) frozen pound cake loaf and thaw before cutting.
