  • 1 can blueberry pie filling
  • 1 tub whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed

🍰 Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Cake

  1. Preheat your oven according to the cake mix instructions (usually 175°C / 350°F).
  2. Prepare the cake batter as directed on the box.
  3. Pour the batter into a greased 9×13-inch baking pan.
  4. Bake according to package instructions until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  5. Let the cake cool completely.

Step 2: Add the Blueberry Layer

  1. Once cooled, gently spread the blueberry pie filling evenly over the cake.
  2. Make sure the berries are distributed across the entire surface for every bite.

Step 3: Add the Cloud Topping

  1. Spread the whipped topping over the blueberry layer.
  2. Use a spatula to create soft peaks or swirls for a “cloud-like” effect.

Step 4: Chill

  • Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours before serving.
  • This helps everything set and enhances the flavor.

🍽️ Methods & Tips for Success
