Angel Food Delight

1 Angel Food Cake (store bought or homemade)
1 Lg box of Chocolate Pudding
1 Sm box of Butterscotch Pudding
1 Container of Cool Whip or 2 Cups Whipped Cream
Sliced Almonds or any kind of nuts

Tear up cake and place in 9×13 in. pan
Cook puddings as directed and mix together. Pour while hot over cake. Cool and frost with Cool Whip or Cream. Sprinkle with nuts.

You can use instant pudding if you are in a hurry. Add 1/2 tsp to whipped cream to keep it from getting watery from sitting for a day or two.

I have used chocolate and banana pudding and mixed sliced bananas with cake. Good, too.
