Ingredients

Scale

Cake Ingredients

  • 1 premade angel food cake

Pudding Mixture

  • 1 box instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 ½ cups milk
  • 1 cup sour cream

Toppings

  • 1 can cherry pie filling
  • 1 container Cool Whip, thawed


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cake: Tear the premade angel food cake into bite-sized pieces to create easier layering and enhance its light and airy texture.
  2. First Layer: Evenly spread half of the angel food cake pieces at the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish to form a solid base for the dessert.
  3. Make the Pudding Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix, milk, and sour cream until smooth. Let the mixture rest for a few minutes to thicken and set.
  4. Add Cherry Pie Filling: Spoon and evenly spread half of the cherry pie filling over the cake pieces in the dish, ensuring a fruity burst in every bite.
  5. Second Cake Layer: Place the remaining angel food cake pieces over the cherry pie filling layer to build the second cake layer.
  6. Add Pudding Layer: Spread the prepared vanilla pudding mixture evenly over the second cake layer, smoothing the surface thoroughly.
  7. Top with Whipped Topping: Gently spread the thawed Cool Whip over the pudding layer to create a smooth and fluffy finish.
  8. Decorate with Cherry Pie Filling: Spoon the remaining cherry pie filling decoratively 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!
