Heaven on Earth Cake is a light and luscious dessert, often made with layers of angel food cake, creamy pudding, and fruit. Here’s a simple recipe for it:
Ingredients:
- 1 prepared angel food cake (store-bought or homemade), cut into cubes
- 1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling
- 1 package (3.4 oz) vanilla instant pudding mix
- 1 1/2 cups cold milk
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 tub (8 oz) whipped topping (Cool Whip), thawed
- 1/2 cup sliced almonds (optional for garnish)
Instructions:
- Layer the cake: In a 9×13-inch baking dish, place half of the cubed angel food cake evenly at the bottom.
- Add cherry pie filling: Spread the entire can of cherry pie filling over the layer of angel food cake.
- Top with more cake: Add the remaining half of the cubed cake on top of the cherry pie filling.
- Prepare the pudding: In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant pudding mix, cold milk, and sour cream until smooth and thickened.
- Spread pudding mixture: Pour and spread the pudding mixture evenly over the cake layers in the dish.
- Whipped topping layer: Gently spread the whipped topping (Cool Whip) over the pudding layer.
- Chill: Cover and refrigerate the cake for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Garnish and serve: Before serving, sprinkle sliced almonds (optional) over the top for a little crunch.
Optional Variations:
- Swap the cherry pie filling for another fruit pie filling, such as blueberry, peach, or strawberry.
- Add shredded coconut or mini chocolate chips as a topping for more flavor and texture.
