This is a type of "refrigerator cake" that is/was common in the summer
when I was growing up. During refrigeration the whole thing comes
together. I haven't tried this one, but as I like pudding and graham
crackers, it sounds interesting.

Another refrigerator cake:

Mix together-
1 angel food cake torn into pieces
vanilla pudding
drained fruit cocktail.

Place in a 9x13 sheet pan. Cover with whipped cream. Refrigerate a
couple of hours. The cake will absorb moisture from the pudding and
the whole thing coalesces.

It's very nice in the summer. think that if I made this nowadays,
I'd use pineapple instead of fruit cocktail.
