What's to Love About This Recipe?

- Loaded with flavor - The dessert's signature creamy mixture combined with its 3 types of fresh berries creates fabulous flavor, indeed.
- Beautiful - Triple Berry Punch Bowl Cake's layers of fresh berries against its contrasting creamy white angel food cake mixture makes for one stunningly beautiful no-bake dessert.
- Red, white & blue - That beautiful red, white, and blue color scheme is just perfect for Memorial Day, or the 4th of July. -- Or for any other summertime get-together, too.

Triple Berry Punch Bowl Cake Ingredients:
To whip up Triple Berry Punch Bowl Cake's beautifully creamy red, white, &
blue layers, you'll need:
- Fresh strawberries, blueberries, & raspberries - Bring the berry dessert's berry deliciousness, and create its beautiful red and blue layers.
- Angel food cake - Serves as the cake base of the dessert's creamy white layers. Use a 14-ounce prepared angel food cake from the grocery store bakery for preparation convenience and ease, or bake your own.
- Sour cream - Brings creaminess and moisture to the punch bowl cake's signature angel food cake mixture.
- Evaporated milk - Contributes moisture to the creamy layers.
- Confectioners' sugar - Sweetens the creamy layer mixture. Stick with confectioners' sugar (rather than granulated sugar) as it combines better with the other creamy layer ingredients and won't make the mixture grainy.
- Cool Whip - Contributes the angel food cake layers' creaminess. Homemade whipped cream can be substituted, if you prefer.
- Chopped pecans (optional) - Adds a nice garnish and a small bit of crunch to the finished dessert.
How to Make Red White & Blue Triple Berry Punch Bowl Cake:
In a nutshell, all you need to do to create this beautiful and delicious punch bowl cake is to layer fresh berries
with an angel food cake-whipped topping mixture. And then let it set in the
refrigerator overnight to get all friendly. -- And believe me, letting this set in the refrigerator overnight without digging in is
indeed the hardest part of making this dessert.
Then spoon some of the angel food cake mixture into the bottom of a glass trifle dish, punch bowl, or other glass bowl and cover it with a layer of sliced strawberries. Repeat this layering process with fresh blueberries and raspberries, finishing with a layer of the angel food cake mixture on top.
Pretty, isn't it? Well, as pretty as this red, white, and blue Triple Berry Punch Bowl Cake
is, it tastes even better.
So grab a spoon, dig in, and get ready to not only dazzle your eyes, but to dazzle your tastes buds as well.
Garnish the top with a few colorful berries and some chopped pecans if you'd like, and you're ready for this dessert to dazzle!
Pop it in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld, and then you're good to go with enjoying its deliciousness.
So grab a spoon, dig in, and get ready to not only dazzle your eyes, but to dazzle your tastes buds as well.

Triple Berry Punch Bowl Cake
This amazingly delicious (and beautiful) Triple Berry Punch Bowl Cake is all decked out in fresh berry red, white, and blue! It's a simply lovely no-bake dessert perfect for Memorial Day, the 4th of July, or any summertime get-together.
Prep time: 30 MinInactive time: 8 HourTotal time: 8 H & 30 M
Ingredients
- 1 angel food cake (14 oz. store-bought or bake your own)
- 1 (16 oz.) container sour cream
- 1 (8 oz.) container Cool Whip non-dairy whipped topping
- 1 (5 1/2 oz.) can evaporated milk
- 3/4 c. powdered (confectioners) sugar
- 1 1/2 c. thinly sliced fresh strawberries
- 1 1/2 c. fresh blueberries
- 1 c. fresh raspberries
- 3 T. chopped pecans (optional)
Instructions
- Set a aside a few berries to use as garnish for the top of the cake.
- In a large bowl, combine the sour cream, whipped topping, evaporated milk, and powdered sugar; stir until well combined and smooth. Using a serrated bread knife or your fingers, cut or tear the angel food cake into small pieces. Add cake pieces to the sour cream mixture and mix well.

- Spread 1/4 of the cake mixture on top of the strawberries. Sprinkle the cake evenly with the fresh blueberries.
- Spread 1/4 of the cake mixture on top of the blueberries. Sprinkle the cake evenly with the fresh raspberries.
- Top the layer of raspberries with the remaining 1/4 of the cake mixture. Sprinkle with the chopped pecans and garnish with reserved berries, if desired.

ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing.
What a delicious dessert! Marvellous :)
ReplyDeleteYummm! This looks so good! I make something similar with some angel food cake, cool whip (low fat), strawberries or strawberry jam, and I have these beautiful crunchy sugary caramel bits that I just put on top. I mix it up, and store in the fridge so it's nice and cold and it's SUPER popular at potlucks.
ReplyDeleteI never though to make it as a trifle but that is a good idea =)
Gorgeous!! Putting this on my summer dessert must-bake list for sure!

ReplyDeleteWow!! What a gorgeous cake! This would even make a non-baker like me look good! What do you think of substituting angel food with pound cake or a regular white cake? Husband is not an angel food cake fan. I just subscribed to your blog. Thanks. Judy M.
ReplyDeleteThank you, and welcome, Judy! I think substituting pound cake or regular white cake would work just fine. If using pound cake, you may just want to use a little less cake since it's more dense and will most likely absorb a bit more of the moisture. Enjoy!
DeleteYour deserts look wonderful, I would love to have you stop by and share on the Oh My Heartsie Girls ww this week!!!
