Chocolate and Fruit Trifle

1 devil's food cake mix
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 cup cold water
1 pkg (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
2 cups whipping cream, whipped (don't substitute Cool Whip)
2 Tbsp orange juice
2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
2 cups fresh raspberries
2 kiwi, peeled and sliced

Prepare the cake batter according to package directions; pour into greased 10 X 15 X 1 in baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool completely.
Crumble enough cake to measure 8 cups. Set aside. (Save remaining cake for another use.)
In a mixing bowl, combine milk and water. Add pudding mix - beat on low speed for 2 minutes or until slightly thickened. Fold in whipped cream.
To assemble, spread 2 2/2 cups pudding mixture in a 4 qt glass bowl. Top with half of the crumbled cake - sprinkle with 1 tbsp orange juice. Arrange half of the berries and kiwi over cake. Repeat pudding and cake layers - sprinkle with remaining orange juice. Top with remaining pudding mixture. Spoon remaining fruit around edge of bowl. Cover and refrigerate until serving.
Yield: 12-16 servings

NOTE: Can easily be doubled by using whole cake mix and extra pudding and fruit.
