An angel food cake dessert worthy of its name. Heaven on Earth Cake brings angel food cake together with sweet cherries and creamy vanilla pudding to create a summer dessert that's out-of-this-world delicious!
Ingredients
- 1 Angel Food Cake, prepared
- 1 package (3.4 ounce) Instant Vanilla pudding mix
- 1 ½ cups milk
- 1 cup Sour Cream (or plain greek yogurt)
- ½ teaspoon almond extract
- 1 can (20 ounce) cherry pie filling
- 1 container (8 ounce) Cool Whip
- 1 Tablespoon almond slices, toasted (optional)
Instructions
- Cut angel food cake into cubes. Set aside.
- In a bowl, whisk together pudding mix, milk, sour cream, and almond extract. Set aside.
- In a 13x9 baking dish, lay half of the cake cubes in the bottom of the pan. Spoon ¾ of the cherry pie filling over the cake.
- Repeat cake layer. Pour pudding over the top of the cake, spreading it out evenly.
- Spoon the Cool Whip over the pudding layer. Dollop the remaining pie filling on top.
- Refrigerate cake for 4 hours, or overnight. Sprinkle almonds on top when ready to serve.
Notes
- Make it in Advance- I like this cake best when it has had the chance to chill in the fridge. You can make it the night before and let it set in the refrigerator overnight.
- Serve as a trifle- This dessert is beautiful served in a glass trifle bowl too!
- Cool the Cake- Be sure to use a completely cooled cake before assembly!
- Storage- Keep this dessert in the fridge in airtight container (or covered with plastic wrap) for up to 3 days.
- Use homemade whipped cream instead of Cool Whip.
