Ingredients

• 1 box Yellow cake mix
• 3 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
• 1 cup Water
• 1 box (3.4 oz) Instant vanilla pudding mix
• 2 cups Milk
• 1 can (20 oz) Crushed pineapple
• 2 cups, sliced Strawberries
• 2 large Bananas
• 16 oz Whipped topping
• 1 cup Chopped pecans
• 0.5 cup Maraschino cherries

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

Prepare the yellow cake mix according to the package instructions by combining the cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and water. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish.

Step 3

Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely.

Step 4

Prepare the vanilla pudding by whisking the pudding mix and milk together in a medium bowl. Let it set in the refrigerator for a few minutes until it thickens.

Step 5

Once the cake has cooled, crumble it into small pieces using your hands or a fork.

Step 6

In a large punch bowl or trifle dish, layer the ingredients as follows: start with a layer of crumbled cake, followed by a layer of pudding, a layer of crushed pineapple, a layer of sliced strawberries, a layer of sliced bananas, and a layer of whipped topping. Repeat the layers until the bowl is full.

Step 7

End with a final layer of whipped topping. Sprinkle the chopped pecans evenly over the top and decorate with maraschino cherries for a festive touch.

Step 8

Refrigerate the punch bowl cake for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 9

Serve chilled with a large spoon to scoop out the delicious layers.
