This is a yummy and easy dessert that's sure to  please at your next family gathering! 1 Can Crushed Pineapple, with juice undrained.  1 package instant vanilla pudding mix 1 cup (or a little more) whipped topping 1 round shortbread or angel food cake, sliced into layers. Strawberries for topping Mix the pineapple and juice with the pudding mix. Add in whipped topping. Put bottom layer of cake in a trifle bowl, spread pineapple mixture on top, layer and repeat. If the cake is a ring cake, add strawberries in the middle.  Add strawberries for decoration on top. (I used 2 cakes, and took one layer from one to add to the three layers  of the other.)
