Ingredients
Scale
Cake Layer
- 1 premade angel food cake
Pudding Mixture
- 1 box instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 ½ cups milk
- 1 cup sour cream
Fruit and Toppings
- 1 can cherry pie filling
- 1 container Cool Whip, thawed
Instructions
- Prepare the Cake: Tear the premade angel food cake into bite-sized pieces to make layering easier and ensure every bite has a light and airy texture.
- First Layer: Evenly spread half of the angel food cake pieces in the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish. Make sure to cover the base to create a solid foundation for the layers.
- Make the Pudding Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix, milk, and sour cream until smooth. Allow the mixture to rest for a few minutes until the pudding thickens and sets.
- Add Cherry Pie Filling: Spoon and spread half of the cherry pie filling evenly over the cake layer in the baking dish, ensuring good coverage for a fruity burst in every slice.
- Second Cake Layer: Top the cherry layer with the remaining angel food cake pieces to build the next layer of the cake.
- Add Pudding Layer: Spread the prepared vanilla pudding mixture evenly over the second layer of cake, smoothing it out to fully cover the surface.
- Top with Whipped Topping: Gently spread the thawed Cool Whip over the pudding layer, creating a smooth and fluffy finish.
- Decorate with Cherry Pie Filling: Decorate the top of the cake by spooning the remaining cherry pie filling attractively over the Cool Whip topping.
- Chill and Serve: Cover the dish and refrigerate the cake for several hours to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set. Serve chilled and enjoy!
Notes
- Use a 9×13 inch dish for easy layering and serving.
- Allow the pudding mix to thicken before spreading for best texture.
- Chilling the cake for at least 3-4 hours or overnight improves flavor melding and firmness.
- This dessert is best served chilled and can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute sour cream and Cool Whip with suitable alternatives.
