Vera's Strawberry Angel Food Cake Dessert

This is an old recipe that my Mother in Law pasted down to me...It is very good and I have not seen a recipe come close to this one. Want to put here for safe keeping. The pudding can be found where you find the instant tapioca, and regular pudding...you can use strawberry flavored too. You can use Cool Whip instead of Dream Wip.. This is an old recipe and I don't think they had frozen whipped topping back then. Cooking time is cooling time.
