Heaven On Earth Cake Ingredients

  • Vanilla Instant Pudding Mix – I prefer using vanilla, but you can also try white chocolate or cheesecake flavors.
  • Whole Milk – Make sure it’s nice and cold before mixing it with the pudding mix!
  • Vanilla Greek Yogurt – This gets added into the pudding mixture to both lighten it up and make it extra creamy.
  • Angel Food Cake – Use store-bought or make your own!
  • Strawberry Pie Filling – We use canned, but you can make your own, and you can try other flavors.
  • Cool Whip – Make sure it’s fully thawed before using!
  • Sliced Almonds – Add a bit of crunch and fancy topping to this luscious dessert!

How To Make Heaven On Earth Cake

1. Cutting The Cake – It’s best to use a serrated knife to cut the angel food cake up. This way, you can use a sawing motion to prevent the cake pieces from being squished and flattened.

2. Layering – When assembling this cake, you want to first spread angel food cake onto the bottom of the dish. Then, spread a portion of the strawberry filling onto the angel food cake and then top it with the remaining angel food cake. Then, spread the vanilla pudding mixture over the cake.

3. Toppings – Finish the layer off with thawed cool whip spread over the top, then the remaining strawberry pie filling gets dropped onto the cake by the spoonful. For a fun look, you can spread it around and make some swirls! Then top this cake off with slivered almonds right before serving.

4. Chilling – I find that this cake tastes best after it chills for 4 to 6 hours or even overnight. This produces a more flavorful and moist cake while also allowing the layers to set and bind together.

No-Bake Heaven On Earth Cake Variations

The great thing about this easy recipe is the different ways you can make it! I prefer to make it the easiest way possible by using store-bought ingredients.

However, maybe you’re someone who prefers a from-scratch recipe! In that case, you can make homemade Angel Food Cake and Perfect Whipped Cream to pair with your favorite pie filling recipe.

This cake recipe can even be made with another flavored pie filling besides strawberry! Try this recipe out using cherry, blueberry, raspberry, mixed berry medley, or peach pie filling!

Whichever filling you choose, this cake will be an instant hit with its sweet, fruity flavor!
