Lakota's Strawberry Cake Pudding

Why I Love This Recipe
This is a recipe I've been tossing around in my head for several weeks. At my book signing yesterday I met another young lady who's mother bought a copy of my cookbook for her. Her name was Lakota and this is now her cake.
You can change the flavor by changing the preserves and jello. I'll also be trying this using coconut pudding and no preserves. When I make these changes I will add an additional 1/2 cups of milk and unflavored gelatin.
Enjoy!
