One of my bridesmaids gave this recipe to me when I got married (I had a cooking shower). Although I am normally a devout chocoholic when it comes to dessert, this trifle has just about converted me. When I make it, I get one of the 'trial size' bottles of Chambord (Raspberry Liqueur) and drizzle it over the layers of jam. Also, as an fyi to folks looking to make this, it always takes me more then 10 minutes (you'd be surprised how tedious putting jam onto each individual slice of cake can be).

This was really good but the raspberries were a little sour. Leftovers were much better because the berries became sweeter with time. Next time I would mix the berries with a little sugar. I doubled the pudding and cool whip because I wanted a lighter tasting dessert.

Very,very good. I did use white chocolate pudding and instead of raspberry jam I used raspberry pie filling. Was loved by all.

Excellent recipe! I made this for Christmas dinner...what a perfect ending to a great meal. The presentation was beautiful. I used pound cake instead of angel food cake, but plan to make again (and again) and I will try with angel food cake. I also heated the preserves to soften and added the fresh raspberries, it was easier to work with. Thanks for a great recipe!

This recipe was very good! I had 3 different desserts on the table and this one was gone in 10 minutes. Plus it was so easy to make! Next time I would like to try white chocolate pudding mix.
