Sinless Strawberry Trifle

This dessert is super easy and pretty low in fat/calories. You can subsitute store bought cake or pound cake, but this using the homemade "diet soda method" helps keep the calories down. It's best to assemble the trifle just a few hours before serving, otherwise it will become soggy.
