Ingredients
Scale
Cake Base:
- 1 angel food cake, pre-made or from a boxed mix, cooled
Fruit and Dairy:
- 1 can (540 milliliters, 18 ounces) cherry pie filling
- 1 cup sour cream
Pudding and Topping Ingredients:
- 1 package (102 grams, 3.6 ounces) 4-serving instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1½ cups 2% milk
- 8 ounces Cool Whip
- Sliced almonds, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Carefully slice the angel food cake into uniform, bite-sized cubes approximately one inch in dimension.
- Prepare a 9×9 inch baking dish and create an initial layer by evenly distributing half of the cake cubes across the bottom.
- Generously spread two-thirds of the cherry pie filling over the initial cake layer, ensuring even coverage.
- Construct a second layer by placing the remaining cake cubes atop the cherry filling, creating a delicate mosaic.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together pudding mix, milk, and sour cream until the mixture achieves a silky, smooth consistency, which typically requires about two minutes of vigorous stirring.
- Carefully pour and spread the pudding mixture over the layered cake, creating an even, creamy surface.
- Apply a generous coating of Cool Whip across the pudding layer, creating a light and airy topping.
- Artfully drizzle the remaining cherry pie filling over the Cool Whip, creating an appealing visual contrast.
- Refrigerate the dessert for a minimum of four hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the texture to set perfectly.
- Before serving, optionally garnish with delicate slivered almonds to add a subtle crunch and aesthetic appeal.
