Ingredients

Units Scale

Cake Layer

  • 1 Premade Angel food cake

Pudding Layer

  • 1 box instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 1 cup sour cream

Fruit Layer

  • 1 can cherry pie filling

Topping

  • 1 container Cool Whip, thawed

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Second Cake Layer: Top the cherry layer with the remaining angel food cake pieces to build the next layer of the cake.
  6. Add Pudding Layer: Spread the prepared vanilla pudding mixture evenly over the second layer of cake, smoothing it out to fully cover the surface.
  7. Top with Whipped Topping: Gently spread the thawed Cool Whip over the pudding layer, creating a smooth and fluffy finish.
  8. Decorate with Cherry Pie Filling: Decorate the top of the cake by spooning the remaining cherry pie filling attractively over the Cool Whip topping.
  9. 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

  • This dessert is even better when made a day in advance, allowing for deeper flavor melding.
  • Try swapping cherry pie filling for blueberry or strawberry for a different twist.
  • Make sure the Cool Whip is fully thawed for easy spreading.
  • You can use homemade angel food cake if desired.
