What is a heaven on earth cake?

A Heaven on Earth Cake is a delicious, layered no-bake dessert! It’s traditionally made with cubes of angel food cake, a creamy vanilla pudding and sour cream mixture, and a fruity topping like cherry pie filling. It's famous for being incredibly easy and a total crowd-pleaser.

Why didn't my angel food cake rise?

Oh, that can be so frustrating! Usually, if an angel food cake doesn't rise, it's because a tiny bit of fat or grease—maybe from an egg yolk or a bit of oil on your utensils—got into the egg whites. They need a perfectly clean, grease-free environment to whip up into those beautiful peaks!

What is the sinful seven cake?

That sounds decadent! The "Sinful Seven Cake" I know is a super-rich chocolate layer cake that gets its name from having seven main indulgent ingredients, often including things like chocolate, coffee, and pecans. It’s a very different (but also delicious!) dessert from this light and airy heaven on earth no bake cake .

What kind of cake is served in heaven?

What a sweet thought! Since angel food cake is so light, airy, and white, people often joke that it must be the cake served in heaven. While we can only imagine, it’s a lovely idea, isn't it? It definitely fits the name of this recipe!

What does the Bible say about cake?

That's an interesting question! While the Bible doesn't mention modern-style cakes with frosting, it does talk about "cakes" in the form of bread, often small, flat loaves made from flour and oil. They were a staple food and sometimes used in offerings.

What kind of cake did they eat in the Bible?

The cakes mentioned in the Bible were very different from our sweet desserts today. They were typically unleavened (flat) breads made from fine flour, water, and oil, sometimes sweetened with honey or figs. Think more of a simple, dense flatbread rather than a fluffy birthday cake!

Heaven on Earth No Bake Cake (The Easiest Recipe!)

Description

This Heaven on Earth No Bake Cake is a dreamy, layered dessert with angel food cake, vanilla pudding, and cherry pie filling—the perfect easy treat for any potluck or party, no oven required!

Ingredients

Scale

1 (1-pound) store-bought angel food cake, cut into 1-inch cubes

1 (5.1-ounce) box instant vanilla pudding mix

2 cups whole milk

1 cup sour cream

1 (8-ounce) container whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed and divided

1 (21-ounce) can cherry pie filling

Instructions

PREPARE the cake. Using your hands or a serrated knife, tear or cut the angel food cake into 1-inch cubes. Spread half of these cubes evenly across the bottom of your 9×13 inch dish.
WHISK the pudding mixture. In a large bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and the cold milk. Keep whisking for about 2 minutes, until you feel it start to thicken up nicely.
FOLD in the creamy ingredients. Gently fold the sour cream and about half of the thawed whipped topping into the pudding mixture. Keep folding with a spatula just until everything is combined and the mixture is smooth and luscious.
LAYER the pudding. Pour this entire glorious pudding mixture over the angel food cake pieces in the dish. Use your spatula to spread it out evenly, making sure to get into all the corners.
ADD the remaining cake. Scatter the rest of the angel food cake cubes evenly over the pudding layer.
SPOON on the pie filling. Carefully spoon the cherry pie filling over the top, spreading it as evenly as possible without disturbing the layers underneath. It doesn’t have to be perfect!
TOP with whipped cream. Spread the remaining whipped topping over the cherry layer, creating a beautiful, fluffy final layer.
CHILL completely. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. This step is crucial for letting the flavors meld together!

Notes

Don’t Rush the Chill! I know it’s tempting to dig in right away, but you have to let this cake chill for at least four hours…

Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
