Scale
Ingredients
- 1 prepared angel food cake, cut into cubes
- 1 package (3.4 ounces) instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 1/2 cups cold milk
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 can (21 ounces) cherry pie filling
- 1 container (8 ounces) whipped topping, thawed
- 1/2 cup sliced almonds (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the pudding mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk until the mixture thickens. Then stir in the sour cream until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Layer the cake and cherry pie filling: In a 9×13 inch dish, spread half of the angel food cake cubes evenly across the bottom. Spoon half of the cherry pie filling over the cake pieces, ensuring even coverage.
- Add pudding layer: Spread half of the prepared pudding mixture evenly over the cherry pie filling layer.
- Repeat layers: Add the remaining angel food cake cubes on top of the pudding, then spread the remaining pudding mixture evenly over the cake cubes.
- Top with cherry filling: Spoon the rest of the cherry pie filling over the top pudding layer and gently spread it out to cover the surface evenly.
- Chill the cake: Cover the dish with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate for at least 4 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the cake to soften.
- Add whipped topping and almonds: Before serving, spread the whipped topping evenly over the chilled cake. Sprinkle sliced almonds on top if desired for added texture and flavor.
Notes
- For best flavor, chill the cake overnight to allow the layers to blend fully.
- You can substitute cherry pie filling with blueberry or strawberry pie filling to vary the fruit flavor.
- Sliced toasted almonds add a nice crunchy texture but are optional based on preference.
