Ingredients
Main
- 397g angel food cake(purchased; cut into 1-inch pieces)
- 595g cherry pie filling(can; divided)
- 96g vanilla instant pudding mix and pie filling(package; such as Jell-O)
- 1 1/2 cup milk(whole milk or half-and-half)
- 1 cup sour cream
- 227g whipped topping(container; frozen, thawed)
- almonds(sliced; optional)
Instructions
Main
- Gather all ingredients.
- Place half of the angel food cake pieces in the bottom of a deep 8x8-inch or 9x9-inch baking dish in an even layer; spread 1 cup cherry pie filling over the cake and top with remaining cake pieces in an even layer.
- Whisk together the vanilla pudding mix, milk, and sour cream in a large bowl until slightly thickened and smooth, about 1 minute.
- Pour the pudding mixture over the cake layers and spread evenly.
- Spread the thawed whipped topping over the pudding; dot with the remaining 1 cup cherry pie filling and swoop/swirl filling into the topping. Refrigerate uncovered at least 8 hours and up to 12 hours; garnish with sliced almonds before serving.
Tips
- Cut angel food cake into 1-inch cubes; slightly stale cake gives firmer, less soggy layers.
- Whisk pudding mix, milk, and sour cream until slightly thickened and smooth, about one minute.
- Refrigerate uncovered for at least 8 hours; garnish with sliced almonds just before serving.
