Decadent and creamy. This Heaven On Earth Cake is a dessert from heaven. This is packed with tasty cherries and cream. I love this dessert and always whip this up whenever I am craving a sweet treat.
The ingredients required to make this perfect sweet dessert are super simple. This cake starts with angel food cake that has been topped with tart cherry pie filling, creamy pudding, and lightly whipped cream. This heavenly dessert has been one of my favorites for years! This recipe is not only simple, but also easily modifiable.
If desired, you can use other pie fillings instead, such as strawberry, raspberry, blueberry, or even lemon pie filling. You can even substitute angel food cake with pound cake, chocolate cake, vanilla sponge cake, or even brownies. Or pick another pudding flavor. With this cake, the sky is the limit!
INGREDIENTS
1 (3.4 ounces) instant vanilla pudding mix
1-2 store-bought angel food cakes, or homemade
1 c. plain Greek yogurt
1 1/2 c. milk
almond slivers, garnish, as needed (toasted, optional)
1 (21-ounce) can of cherry pie filling, divided
1 (8-ounce) container of frozen whipped topping, thawed
How to make Heaven On Earth Cake
Step 1: Into bite-sized pieces, cube the angel food cake.
Step 2: Place the pudding mix and cold milk in a large bowl. Mix well until blended before folding on the Greek yogurt. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Step 3: Into a 9 x 13-inch baking dish, scatter half of the cake cubes in an even layer. On top, place 2/3 of the cherry pie filling followed by the rest of the cake cubes, and pudding mixture, gently spreading it into an even layer.
Step 4: Over the pudding layer, spread the frozen whipped topping using a rubber or offset spatula. Then, drizzle with the rest of the cherry pie filling and sprinkle with the slivered almonds.
Step 5: Keep in the fridge and allow the cake to set for 3 hours or so up to overnight.
