Recipe With Cherry Pie Filling And Angel Food Cake

This Layered Cherry Angel Food Cake requires 3 ingredients and about 15 minutes of your time. It’s easy, delicious and a crowd pleaser.

I took a cooking class about 19 years ago and walked away with a ton of recipes and tips, which made this newlywed very happy. It also helped me feel more equipped for cooking meals for my husband and I, as well as having company over.

One of the things I was taught in this class was to be prepared for the unexpected. From things like unexpected company to a friend in need who could use a good meal or dessert. I definitely have not always done well in sticking to this advice for meals, but when it comes to desserts — I’m pretty much always prepared. (I know where my priorities are — in dessert.)

One ingredient I try to keep on hand for spur of the moment desserts is cherry pie filling. It’s magic. It can help you throw together (or dump — hence the name) a cherry dump cake, ready and on the table with a heaping scoop of vanilla ice cream in less than an hour. (This dessert is perfect for fall and winter because it warms your tummy like you would not believe.) Or a beautiful and delicious Layered Cherry Angel Food Cake which requires absolutely no cooking and about 15  minutes of your time (if you use a prepared angel food cake that is). This is a dessert perfect for those hot summer days.

Step four: Place third layer on top of second layer and ice entire cake with Cool Whip. (Side note: You could just ice the top and leave the sides ‘naked’. It still makes a pretty and tasty dessert with less Cool Whip.)

Step five: Spoon cherries on top; and drizzle down the side if you’d like. (For some odd reason we did not get any pictures of this step or the finished cake. I think I was in a hurry to finish so I could eat the dang thing. 😉 )

If you need to prepare a dessert in a hurry or you need something very easy to make for guests, this is perfect. The mixture of the light angel food cake, the creamy Cool Whip and the tang of the cherry pie filling go together perfectly.

Two Ingredient Angel Food Cake

Summer is my favorite time of year to break out all of my no-bake dessert recipes. They’re quick, they’re delicious and there’s no need for an oven. I’m pretty opposed to using the oven in the summer. It warms up the house and makes the A/C work overtime. Speaking of A/C, did I mention we’re having problems with our air conditioning at the moment?

Thank goodness we’re still experiencing fairly low temps for this time of year. I’ve been able to open the windows during the day and keep it comfortable.

Today I’m sharing the recipe for a No Bake Cherry Dump Cake. You may also recognize this as Heaven on Earth Cake. But, me? Well, I like to call it what it is.

Cherry Cheesecake Angel Dessert

This cake starts out with a store bought or homemade angel food cake. Can you guess which I used? If you’ve followed my blog for awhile, you know that I’m all about convenience. So, yes, I bought my angel food cake right from the bakery at the grocery store.

Spoon 2/3 of the cherry pie filling over the angel food cubes. Try to resist from digging in just yet. It gets better.

If you know anything about no-bake recipes, you probably can guess what’s coming next. The pudding. Because what’s a no-bake dessert without pudding?

Now, top with Cool Whip and spoon the remaining pie filling over the whipped topping. I like to sprinkle on some sliced almonds for garnish. They add a bit more eye candy and a little crunch.

I love that the cherries burst out from the middle of the cake as well! So many delicious layers of flavor. When you put them all together, it really is a little bit of “heaven on earth.”
