Directions

  • Prepare the angle food cake mix as instructed on the package. Allow it to cool completely.
  • Combine
    the sugar, cornstarch, water, and salt in a saucepan and stir until the cornstarch is
    dissolved.
  • Cook these ingredients over medium heat until the mixture is clear and has come thickened.
    Cook it until it just comes to a boil.
  • Remove from the heat and add the butter; stir until melted.
  • Pour in the lemon juice and stir until completely mixed.
  • Allow it to cool and then refrigerate the mixture so that it thickens a little more. It should
    be about the consistency of pudding.
  • Remove the lemon mixture from the refrigerator and begin to layer all the ingredients. Begin
    by putting a layer of torn pieces of cake on the bottom of a trifle bowl. Use a little less than
    half the cake.
  • Spread half the lemon mixture over the cake and then sprinkle this with coconut.
  • Add half of the whipped topping and spread out evenly.
  • Repeat the layers of cake and lemon mixture. You will probably end up with a little of the

cake leftover.
  • Next add the rest of the whipped topping and spread out so that it covers the entire top except
    for about an inch around the outer edge.
  • Sprinkle coconut over the entire top of the trifle.
  • Serve the trifle immediately or it can be refrigerate for a few hours before serving.
