Notes
- Make it in Advance- I like this cake best when it has had the chance to chill in the fridge. You can make it the night before and let it set in the refrigerator overnight.
- Serve as a trifle- This dessert is beautiful served in a glass trifle bowl too!
- Cool the Cake- Be sure to use a completely cooled cake before assembly!
- Storage- Keep this dessert in the fridge in airtight container (or covered with plastic wrap) for up to 3 days.
- Use homemade whipped cream instead of Cool Whip.
