Print Recipe

A delightful layered dessert featuring fluffy angel food cake, cherry pie filling, creamy vanilla pudding, and Cool Whip.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 angel food cake (about 10–12 oz)
  • 1 can cherry pie filling (540 milliliters, 18 ounces)
  • 1 package (4-serving) instant vanilla pudding mix (102 grams, 3.6 ounces)
  • 1 and 1/2 cups (360 milliliters) milk (2 percent)
  • 1 cup (240 milliliters) sour cream
  • 8 ounces (approximately 1 container) Cool Whip
  • Sliced almonds (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cut the cooled angel food cake into 1-inch cubes, ensuring they’re uniform for layering.
  2. Layer half of the cake pieces evenly in the bottom of a 9×9 inch cake pan.
  3. Spread 2/3 of the cherry pie filling evenly over the layer of cake cubes.
  4. Add the remaining half of the cake cubes on top of the cherry pie filling.
  5. In a medium bowl, mix together the vanilla pudding mix, milk, and sour cream until smooth, approximately 2 minutes.
  6. Spread the pudding mixture evenly over the top layer of cake.
  7. Spread the Cool Whip evenly over the pudding layer to create a light topping.
  8. Drop and spread the rest of the cherry pie filling over the Cool Whip layer for added color and flavor.
  9. Cover the cake and place it in the refrigerator to chill for 240 to 300 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  10. Before serving, sprinkle slivered almonds on top as an optional garnish for an extra crunch.

Notes

For the best flavor, allow the cake to chill for the full time to enhance the flavor melding. You can swap cherry pie filling with other varieties such as blueberry or peach for a different flavor profile.
