This is an amazing recipe! I've made this 4 times now. My family requests it! Even the kids love it. A family favorite for two years now. Very easy to make. Enjoy!!

It looked really pretty, but it wasn't as good as it looked. Or as good as I was hoping.

I will make again But I will use angel food cake on the bottom. The jello I would pour over the cake mixture right away so that it mixes will with the cake. It was kind of dry over the pound cake. Other then that everyone liked it.

Everyone loved how light and tasty this cake was. However it took my jello a lot longer than 5 minutes to set up. Will definately make this one again. MJ

This Recipe was GREAT! It was so refreshing with the fresh fruit and Cool Whip! The only problem I had was when I put my pound cake slices at the bottom and put my Jello Gelatin over it the pound cake got all soggy and moist!
