CAKE FOR A CROWD


This cake, made in a punch bowl, is pretty to look at and absolutely yummy! Have made it several times for potlucks, or when I'm serving a large crowd. Easy to do:
In a glass punch bowl, tear half an angel food cake into chunks. Over this, layer 1 can of pie cherry filling. Next, layer over 2 o 3 sliced bananas. Mix a small package of pistachio pudding, following box directions. Immediately pour over the bananas. It will set just fine. Spread 1 small can of drained, crushed pineapple over the pudding, then top with nearly 1/2 large container of cool whip. Repeat each layer, except use vanilla pudding. Garnish with maraschino cherries if desired. I have found that using any kind of cake other than angel food, produces a very soggy dessert.
