Bake cake according to directions in a sheet cake pan. Make instant pudding , keep in fridge until ready. Drain pineapple. Slice strawberries, leave 12 to garnish top if they are fresh. Add sugar to berries and mix.
Alternate layers:
1st layer- cake cubes, pudding, strawberries, cool whip and pecans
2nd layer- cake cubes, pudding, pineapple, cool whip and pecans.
Top last layer with cool whip and garnish with strawberries or nuts.
Best if made a day ahead for juices to set up. Refrigerate.
I don't think I've ever made it a day ahead, it is always last minute, and its still very good.
