Heaven on earth cake has a divine combination of flavors and textures. It's light, fruity and topped with ethereal clouds of whipped topping.

Ingredients

1 (14 ounces) prepared angel food cake, divided
2 cups cherry pie filling, divided
1 package (3.4 ounces) instant vanilla pudding mix
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
1-1/2 cups half-and-half cream or whole milk
1 tub (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed
1/2 cup slivered almonds, optional

Directions

Arrange half the cubed cake in the bottom of a deep 9x9-in. glass baking pan or trifle dish.
Spread 1 cup cherry pie filling over the cake in an even layer. Top with remaining cake pieces.
In a large bowl, whisk together vanilla pudding, Greek yogurt and half-and-half or milk until slightly thickened, about 1 minute. Pour mixture over the cake; spread it into an even layer. Spread whipped topping over the cake; dot with the remaining 1 cup cherry pie filling. Use a sharp knife or toothpick to swirl the pie filling into the whipped topping to create a marbled appearance.
Cover; refrigerate 8-12 hours. Before serving, garnish with slivered almonds, if desired.
