Ingredients

1 box red velvet cake mix, about 18 ounces (if you can't find red velvet cake use 1 box chocolate cake plus a bottle of red food coloring)
1 (16-ounce) tub whipped topping
2 pints blueberries
1 pint strawberries, tops removed

Directions

Bake the red velvet cake mix according to package directions and allow to cool.

Using a serrated knife cut the red velvet cake into 1 inch square pieces and line the bottom of the trifle bowl with half of the cake squares.

Using a spatula, spread about a 2-inch layer of whipped topping on top of the cake squares.

Layer about 1 1/2 pints of the blueberries on top of whipped topping.

Layer the remaining cake pieces on top of the blueberries forming a second layer of cake.

Using a spatula, spread remaining whipped topping over the cakes pieces.

Decorate the perimeter with the strawberries; placing the strawberries cut side down. Sprinkle the remaining blueberries on top of the trifle inside the strawberry perimeter.

looks pretty, thats about it
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

It does look really nice, especially for the 4th of July. But the taste is bland and a little dry. The cake and the... berries dont really fit well together.Read more

Nice try...
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I made this for the 4th of July and it was such a waste of money! I was able to find a red velvet cake mix so I was very... excited to make it. The recipe doesn't call for nearly enough whip topping so I ran out half way through...guests already there. It was also a very odd combo of flavors. I agree that pudding would probably help. Not impressed. I love Sandra's individual lime cheesecakes though...that is a great recipe I make over and over again. Read more

ok
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

This is an ok recipe but in order to make it really good you need pudding and cookies. It adds more moisture and then crunch... from the cookies. I made two boxes of instant cheesecake pudding and added blue food coloring to made it blue. I also took sugar cookies and crumbled them up to add..so my dessert went: red cake, blue pudding, strawberries/blueberries, whipped cream, crushed cookies. Then repeat. Its beautiful and tasty.Read more

This is fantastic!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I prepared this and loved it! I do not like to cook but wanted to do a patriotic dessert. I found this recipe to be easy,... fun and beautiful. Then I ate some and it tasted as good as it looked. Thank you, Sandra, for giving this non-cook something I could do!Read more

Picture Perfect!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Easy, and makes for a wonderful presentation. My secret to making it extra sweet: instead of cool whip, use vanilla pudding... from an instant mix. You will need 2 boxes, yes, I know it's not perfectly white, but close enough! you could also use one layer of each or mix together! Read more

GREAT!!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Our family started gathering for weekly dinners recently andf we've made it a point to try something new. Usually I make... dessert and I stick to the standard yellow cake or cookies but when I saw this recipe I has to try it. At first I was a little nervous because I had never made red velvet cake before and I also had trouble finding a cake mix in the super market but when everything was complete, it was delicious. The family loved it and now they want me to make all different types of trifles. Thanks a bunch Sandra Lee. YOU ROCK!!!Read more
