Prepare cake according to box directions, baking about 25-30 minutes. Allow to cool before assembling the dessert. Cut cake into bite-sized pieces.
Prepare pudding mix. Don't allow pudding to set completely before assembling so that it can work its way between the cake pieces.
In a trifle dish or a large, clear bowl, add half of the cake pieces for the bottom layer. Top with half of the pudding, half of the bananas, half of the strawberries, half of the pineapple, half of the Cool Whip, half of the cherries, half of the chocolate syrup and half of the pecans. Repeat steps with the remaining ingredients in the same order.
Chill until ready to serve.
8-10 servings.
