Ingredients:
1 pre-made angel food cake (or bake a boxed angel food cake mix and let it cool)
1 can (18 ounces) cherry pie filling
8 ounces of Cool Whip
1 cup sour cream
1 1/2 cups milk
1 package (3.6 ounces) instant vanilla pudding mix
Optional: sliced almonds for garnish
Instructions:
Prepare the Cake Base:
If you haven’t already, purchase a pre-made angel food cake or bake one from a boxed mix according to its instructions. Allow it to cool completely.
Cube the Cake:
Once your angel food cake has cooled, cut it into bite-sized cubes. You can either slice them with a knife or gently break them apart with your hands.
Layer the Cake Cubes:
Take a large serving dish and spread out your angel food cake cubes at the base.
Add the Cherries:
Evenly spread the cherry pie filling over the cake cubes, ensuring a delightful distribution of sweet cherries.
Prepare the Pudding Mixture:
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and milk. Once smooth, fold in half of the sour cream until well combined.
Spread the Pudding:
Pour and spread the pudding mixture evenly over the cherry layer, creating a luxurious and creamy foundation.
Add the Whipped Topping:
Generously layer the Cool Whip on top of the pudding mixture, ensuring an even spread that adds a velvety texture to every forkful.
Garnish and Refrigerate:
Optionally, enhance the visual appeal and flavor profile by garnishing the top with sliced almonds for an added crunch. Place the assembled cake in the refrigerator for a minimum of four hours. For the best results, allow it to chill for the full duration before serving.
Serve and Enjoy:
After the refrigeration time, slice and serve your Heaven on Earth cake. Experience the delightful combination of fluffy angel food cake, sweet cherries, creamy pudding, and Cool Whip in every heavenly bite.

FAQs
Q1: Can I use a homemade angel food cake instead of a pre-made one for this recipe?
Yes, absolutely! If you prefer a homemade touch, feel free to bake an angel food cake from scratch using a boxed mix or your favorite recipe. Ensure it cools completely before proceeding with the layering.
Q2: Can I prepare the Heaven On Earth Cake a day in advance?
Certainly! In fact, allowing the cake to chill in the refrigerator for an extended period enhances the flavors. Prepare the cake, refrigerate it for at least four hours, or overnight for optimal results. Just be sure to cover it well to preserve its freshness.
Q3: Is there a substitute for sliced almonds as a garnish?
Certainly! If almonds aren’t suitable, you can customize the garnish with alternatives like chopped pistachios, shredded coconut, or a drizzle of chocolate syrup. The garnish is optional, so feel free to get creative and tailor it to your taste preferences.
