I have made this every year, but decided in the summer I wanted to make it. I bought an angel food cake broke that up, then layered some fresh strawberries that I had sliced and sugared, and then chocolate and then repeated ending with chocolate and a pretty strawberry on top. Since then I have tried frozen strawberries, frozen raspberries, and even used unsweetened strawberry or raspberry jam. My friend layered the angel food cake, sprinkled with rum, sliced bananas, jarred caramel sauce and the chocolate...wow she said it tasted like bananas foster. I have shared this recipe with so many and so many different versions, using any kind of pound cake or firm cake. Either way I have had it my husband is always wanting me to make it. The chocolate is what he loves the best and I am going to try making the chocolate and incorporating whatever I need to make it mousse.

I made this for a holiday dinner at my husband's fire station. At first I was iffy if it'll turn out well and if it's a recipe worth trying since it has an average of 4 stars. Read the reviews and decided to go with it. I'M GLAD I DID! Everyone LOVED it! I was hoping to take some leftovers home coz I just had a small portion at the party, but the bowl stayed at the station. Even the firefighters for the next shift had some too. My husband came home with a very clean bowl. Thanks Giada!
