Heaven on Earth Cake
Heaven on Earth Cake is a dreamy, no-bake dessert layered with angel food cake, strawberry pie filling, pudding, and whipped topping! Simple and delicious!A FRUITY AND CREAMY LAYERED DESSERTThis Heaven On Earth Cake is such a fun treat. Now, you might be thinking, oh, Ive seen this cake before., but this one is BETTER than the others! Plus, if youre a person who doesnt care for desserts that use Greek yogurt or sour cream, youll love this one because I didnt use it! Most recipes for this cake call for sour cream or Greek Yogurt, but this dessert is made with cream cheese instead. The optional lemon juice can add that tang if you like the flavor, but if you dont want it, leave it out. This cake truly is heavenly- the perfect flavor and texture!FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:Can I use a store bought angel food cake instead? Absolutely! Instead of making the cake yourself, you can pick up one already baked at the store to make this even faster to prepare. Just remember you are only using HALF of the cake. Do I use all of the prepared angel food cake? No. You wont be using the whole angel food cake with this recipe as its written. If you want to use all of the angel food cake, you can double this recipe. If you dont have an angel food cake pan, you can use a couple of loaf pans or a 913-inch pan instead. Can I use other flavors of cake? I think you could also do this with pretty much any type of prepared cake (it just wont be as light as it is with the angel food cake). Pound cake or even a yellow cake would all work. I hate cream cheese, what else can I use? I do not think this is a strong cream cheese flavor at all. I think you might be surprised how good it is in this. I suppose you could just leave it out or use whatever you normally use in place of cream cheese. Can I use a different pie filling? This can really be done with any pie filling they think would go well with the other flavors: blueberry, cherry, peach, etc. How long are leftovers good for? Typically, leftovers are good if stored in the fridge for up to 4-5 days.
