Equipment
- 9x13 baking pan (if doubling the recipe, use a 10x15 baking pan)
- Mixing bowl
Ingredients
- 3.4 ounce instant vanilla pudding
- 1 ½ cups whole milk
- 1 cup sour cream OR greek yogurt
- 14 ounce angel food cake cut into 1-inch cubes, store bought or homemade
- 21 ounce strawberry pie filling
- 8 ounce Cool Whip
- 3 tablespoons almond slivers
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the vanilla pudding, milk, and sour cream until smooth and fully incorporated and it begins to thicken. Set aside.
- Cut the angel food cake into 1-inch cubes and then evenly layer half of it into the bottom of the baking pan.
- Spread about ⅔ of the strawberry pie filling on top and then layer the remaining angel food cake over it.
- Evenly spread all of the vanilla pudding mixture over the cake layer and then top it with the Cool Whip.
- Using a spoon, drop spoonfuls of the remaining strawberry pie filling over the cake. You can spread it around and make some swirls if you desire.
- Place in the refrigerator uncovered to chill for 4-6 hours, or even overnight for a more flavorful and moist cake. Refrigerating it will also help the layers to set.
- Right before serving, sprinkle with slivered almonds. Enjoy!
Notes
If doubling the recipe, use a 10x15 baking pan and these measurements for ingredients:
5.1 ounce packet instant vanilla pudding
2 cups whole milk
1 ½ cups sour cream OR greek yogurt
2 14 ounce store bought angel food cake, cut into 1-inch cubes
32 ounce can strawberry pie filling
12 ounce Cool Whip
3 tablespoons almond slivers READER NOTES If using homemade cake, allow it to fully cool before cutting into cubes and layering the cake. Use a serrated knife with a sawing motion to cut the pieces without flattening it. This is the perfect cake to make ahead for parties. You can make it the night before and allow all of the flavors to really soak in. The cake also becomes more moist. Instead of layering it in a baking pan, you can also use a trifle bowl. It really is a strawberry trifle! Easily switch up the flavors of this cake by using different flavored pie fillings. Cherry, blueberry, raspberry, mixed berry medley, and even peach pie filling are great options.
