Tropical Fruit Trifle image

This recipe was conceived from the "ashes of failure." I made Mark H's Coconut Pound Cake, Recipe #17617, but due to my error, I absolutely stuck to the bundt pan and came out in chunks. After I tasted the cake, it was too delicious to even consider trashing, so I came up with this instead. I suppose you could use any tropical fruit, I just used what I had on hand. Amount of fruit and cake you will need will depend on your bowl. I have a very deep trifle bowl (see pic).

This trifle was delicious! I made it for my family and they loved it. The only change I made was to use a different type of fruit. I used strawberries, blueberries, and bananas. It was a great way to use up some of the fruit that I had on hand.

This tropical fruit trifle was a huge hit at my last party! The combination of fresh fruit, creamy pudding, and crunchy granola was irresistible. I especially loved the bright and vibrant colors of the fruit, which made the trifle look as good as it
