CHERRY TRIFLE

1 pound cake
1/2 cup sherry, brandy, rum, or orange juice
2 pkg. vanilla pudding, prepared and cooled
1 can cherry pie filling
whipped topping (about 4 oz.)

Cut cake into 1/2" cubes.  In pretty glass bowl, place a layer of cake cubes, sprinkle with liquid of your choice, spread about 1 cup of pudding over (forming a thin layer) and top with a few spoonfuls of cherry pie filling. (doesn't need to make a complete layer.)  Do this 3 times and then put whipped topping on top.  Chill a few hours.  Serve in pretty dessert dishes.

This is a beautiful dessert; however, it is a little strong in flavor (I used brandy).  My son took the rest of it to work, and I believe his night crew wiped it out (I'm sure they appreciated that little pick-me-up in the middle of the night!  If you like things like rum cake, then you'll like this.  In this picture I had not added the whip cream yet, but you can see still what it looked like.
