Ingredients
  

Cake Base
  • 1 large Angel food cake Store bought or homemade, cut into bite-sized cubes
Fruit Layer
  • 1 can Cherry pie filling Or blueberry if preferred
Cream Layer
  • 1 box Instant vanilla pudding mix The small box
  • 2 cups Milk Cold milk of any kind, whole milk tastes richest
  • 1 cup Sour cream For a cheesecake-like cream layer
  • 8 oz Whipped topping Like Cool Whip, or homemade whipped cream
Optional Toppings
  • 1/2 cup Sliced almonds For garnish on top
  • 1/2 cup White chocolate shavings For garnish on top
  • 1 cup Extra fruit For garnish on top

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Grab a 9x13 dish or a trifle bowl to make the layers visible.
  2. Layer half of the angel food cake cubes at the bottom.
  3. Spoon half of the cherry pie filling over the cake and spread it evenly.
  4. In a bowl, whisk the pudding mix with cold milk for about 2 minutes until it thickens.
  5. Stir in the sour cream until smooth.
  6. Fold in about half of the whipped topping gently until fluffy.
  7. Spread half of the cream mixture over the fruit layer.
  8. Repeat the layers with the remaining cake, fruit, and cream.
  9. Finish with a final layer of whipped topping on top if desired.
Chilling
  1. Cover and chill at least 4 hours, preferably overnight for the best texture.

Notes

Use a clear bowl for serving to show off the beautiful layers. Allow the cake to chill adequately, as cutting too early may result in sliding layers. Adjust sweetness with homemade whipped cream if desired.
