We made this Pumpkin and Angel Food Cake Trifle as a special treat for dessert one night. My son loved it so much that he requested this be a new addition to our family’s Thanksgiving dinner. You can also use just the first part of the recipe to make pumpkin pudding! That was delicious too! I had a hard time placing those spoonfuls on the cake and not in my mouth. So if you are going to be a guest this Thanksgiving, make this up and impress your host. This doesn’t take more than 20 minutes to make. I love fast and easy!
