Ingredients

  • 1 (18.25 ounce) package devil's food cake mix

  • 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk

  • 1 cup cold water

  • 1 (3.4 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix

  • 2 cups whipping cream, whipped

  • 2 tablespoons orange juice

  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, chopped

  • 2 cups fresh raspberries

  • 2 kiwifruit, peeled and chopped

Directions

  1. Prepare cake batter according to package directions; pour into a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool completely on a wire rack.

  2. Crumble enough cake to measure 8 cups; set aside. (Save remaining cake for another use.)

  3. In a mixing bowl, combine milk and water until smooth. Add pudding mix; beat on low speed for 2 minutes or until slightly thickened. Fold in the whipped cream.

  4. To assemble, spread 2-1/2 cups pudding mixture in a 4-qt. glass bowl. Top with half of the crumbled cake; sprinkle with 1 tablespoon orange juice. Arrange half of the berries and kiwi over cake. Repeat pudding and cake layers; sprinkle with remaining orange juice. Top with remaining pudding mixture. Spoon remaining fruit around edge of bowl. Cover and refrigerate until serving.
