Ingredients

  • 1 box (16 oz) angel food cake mix
  • 1 can (21 oz) strawberry pie filling
  • 1 box (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1.5 cups cold milk
  • 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping, thawed
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • Fresh strawberries for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • Prepare the angel food cake: Following the instructions on the box, bake the angel food cake. Once baked, allow it to cool completely before cutting it into bite-sized cubes.
  • Make the pudding mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix, cold milk, and sour cream until smooth and thickened—this will take about 2-3 minutes.
  • First layer of cake: Spread half of the angel food cake cubes evenly across the bottom of a 9x13 inch dish.
  • Strawberry layer: Spoon half of the strawberry pie filling evenly over the layer of cake cubes.
  • Pudding layer: Spread half of the pudding mixture gently over the strawberries.
  • Repeat layers: Repeat the layers with the remaining cake cubes, strawberry pie filling, and pudding mixture, ensuring even distribution.
  • Top with whipped topping: Spread the thawed whipped topping evenly over the top of the assembled layers.
  • Refrigerate: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight, allowing all flavors to meld beautifully.
  • Garnish and serve: Before serving, garnish with fresh strawberries if desired for an extra fresh touch.

Notes

Use cold milk and sour cream for the pudding mixture
