It’s the kind of cake that makes everyone pause after the first bite and say, “Wow.” Perfect for celebrations, potlucks, or just a moment of pure indulgence at the end of a long day, this cake is a no-bake masterpiece of flavor and texture.

🍰 INGREDIENTS

For the Cake:

  • 1 prepared angel food cake (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling

For the Cheesecake Layer:

  • 1 package (3.4 oz) instant cheesecake pudding mix
  • 1 ½ cups cold milk
  • 1 cup sour cream (or plain Greek yogurt)

For the Topping:

  • 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping (Cool Whip or homemade whipped cream)
  • Optional: sliced almonds, maraschino cherries, or fresh berries for garnish

👨‍🍳 INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1: Prepare the Cake Base

  • Cut the angel food cake into bite-sized cubes.
  • Layer half of the cubes in the bottom of a 9×13-inch glass baking dish.

Step 2: Add the Cherry Filling

  • Spoon half of the cherry pie filling evenly over the cake cubes.
  • Repeat the layers with the remaining cake and pie filling.

Step 3: Make the Cheesecake Layer

  • In a bowl, whisk together the cheesecake pudding mix with 1 ½ cups of cold milk until smooth and slightly thickened.
  • Fold in the sour cream until well blended and creamy.
  • Gently spread this mixture over the cherry-topped cake layers.

Step 4: Top It Off

  • Spread the whipped topping evenly over the pudding layer.
  • Garnish with slivered almonds, cherries, or berries if desired.

Step 5: Chill & Serve

  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (overnight is best) to allow the layers to meld.
  • Slice and serve chilled.

🥣 METHODS

  • Layering Technique: The key to this dessert is careful layering—make sure every part of the cake gets evenly soaked with pudding and topped with cherries.
  • Chilling: Allowing the cake to rest in the fridge gives the flavors time to develop and the textures time to set.
  • Customization: Substitute cherry pie filling with blueberry, raspberry, or strawberry if you’d like a twist.
