Heaven on Earth cake describes this delicious trifle-esque dessert perfectly. Moist angel food cake topped with tart cherry pie filling, creamy pudding, and lightly whipped cream makes this cake out of this world!
Heaven On Earth Cake Ingredients
The Heaven on Earth cake is a delectable dessert that combines the light and airy sweetness of angel food cake with the fruity delight of cherry pie filling.
The creamy and rich vanilla pudding mix, mixed with sour cream, adds a velvety layer of flavor to this irresistible dessert.
You’ll need:
- 1 angel food cake (a pre-made cake or bake a boxed angel food cake mix and let it cool)
- 1 can (540 milliliters, 18 ounces) of cherry pie filling
- 1 package (4-serving) of instant vanilla pudding mix (102 grams, 3.6 ounces)
- 1½ cups of milk (2%)
- 1 cup of sour cream
- 8 ounces of Cool Whip
- Sliced almonds for garnish, optional
Substitutions And Additions
PIE FILLING: Instead of cherry pie filling, you could choose from so many other great pie fillings.
Try strawberry, raspberry, blueberry, or even lemon pie filling. How about apple pie filling in the fall?
CAKE: You could swap out the angel food cake for pound cake, chocolate cake, vanilla sponge cake or even brownies.
PUDDING: If you are changing up the filling or cake, you could also pick a different pudding flavor. The sky’s the limit with this cake!
COOL WHIP: If you prefer homemade whipped cream, it would work fine in place of the Cool Whip.
SOUR CREAM: If you prefer, you could also substitute plain Greek yogurt for the sour cream in this recipe.
ALCOHOL: If you are serving this cake to adults, you could soak the cake cubes in sherry or wine first for a grown-up version.
How To Make This Heaven On Earth Cake Recipe
Once you have the angel food cake cut, you will layer the ingredients in the baking pan and let it chill in the fridge. That’s all there is to it!
STEP ONE: Cut the cooled angel food cake into cubes about 1 inch in size.
OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS
If you are baking the cake yourself for this recipe, make sure to let it cool fully before cutting it so that it doesn’t make the other ingredients too warm.
The best knife to use when cutting angel food cake is one with a serrated blade, it will cut the cake easier, and you won’t lose the airy, fluffy texture of the cake.
STEP TWO: Layer half of the cake pieces evenly in the bottom of a 9×9 cake pan (metal or glass).
PRO TIP:
If you have a trifle bowl and are serving this at a potluck, the trifle bowl would show the fancy layers of this dessert even better.
STEP THREE: Spread ⅔ of the cherry pie filling evenly over the cake and then layer the remaining cubed cake over top of the pie filling.
STEP FOUR: In a medium bowl, using an electric mixer, combine pudding mix, milk, and sour cream until smooth, about two minutes.
STEP FIVE: Pour the pudding mixture evenly over the top of the cake.
STEP SIX: Spread the Cool Whip evenly over the pudding layer.
STEP SEVEN: Drop and spread the remaining pie filling over the top.
STEP EIGHT: Place in the fridge and let chill four to five hours before serving.
PRO TIP:
This cake needs at least 4 to 5 hours in the fridge so that the layers of cake can soak up all of the flavors. Overnight is even better.
STEP NINE: Sprinkle slivered almonds on top of the cake before you serve it (optional).
How To Serve
You won’t even need a knife to serve up this cherry heaven on Earth cake. Scoop it onto a plate or into bowls and add fresh berries or other fresh fruits and another dollop of whipped cream on top.
How about adding vanilla ice cream on the side? You will have a sure crowd-pleaser no matter how you choose to serve it!
Make this heavenly cake recipe for an easy summertime dessert alongside our iced tea, raspberry iced tea, sweet peach iced tea, or our southern strawberry sweet tea to wash it down.
There are so many ways you can make an easy treat filled with whipped cream and your favorite flavors.
Try our strawberry angel food cake, strawberry delight, Oreo delight, or our butterscotch delight for more no-bake desserts.
Try our blackberry cobbler for another fruit dessert option.
Storage
IN THE FRIDGE: Store the leftovers in the refrigerator in a sealed food storage container for one to two days.
IN THE FREEZER: We don’t recommend freezing this recipe.
This irresistible cherry trifle-style cake comes together so quickly in a perfect harmony of flavors. The delicious layers of angel cake soak up the cherry pie filling and creamy vanilla pudding flavors so nicely for a divine dessert and make this the best heaven on Earth cake around.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I freeze this recipe?
We don’t recommend freezing this recipe as the consistency would change upon thawing.
Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
This recipe needs to sit in the fridge for several hours to soak in all the yummy flavors, so it is best to make it the day before serving.
Can I change the flavor of pie filling?
The cherries are delicious, but you could switch it out for any flavor of pie filling you’d like. Lemon, strawberry, raspberry, and blueberry would all be delicious!

Alesha Womble says
Can you take out the sour cream if someone doesn’t like it? Or can you not taste it in this recipe.
Layne Kangas says
You can’t taste it where it would impact the recipe, I don’t think! 🙂 Enjoy!
Gloria says
This is one of the best desserts I’ve ever had – super delicious!
Sandy says
Good Morning Stephanie:

My sister in law makes this dessert and it so good and refreshing. I’ll be making this very soon, too.
Maura Bellamy says
So easy to fix and liked by all!
Lisa says
Can you use almond or coconut milk in replace of regular dairy milk?
Layne Kangas says
I hadn’t tried that substitution yet – I would imagine it would work ok. Let me know if you try it!
Linda T Donnellon says
Almond milk will not let the pudding set–I wasted 2 packages of pudding–good lesson–lol
Layne Kangas says
Oh no! How strange! Thanks for reporting back! ♥
Audra says
You can use almond milk, you just have to use less than dairy milk. I found measurements a while back and they worked beautifully. I want to say I used 1 1/4 cups of almond milk compared to the 2 cups of regular milk for the small boxes but it’s been a while.
Christine B. says
I am a diabetic and I made this recipe using the angel food cake n sugar free pudding,sugar free cherry pie filling and sugar free cool whip.and low fat sour cream. and it turned out wonderful. Thank you.
sherry says
oh yummy , could you replace cherry pie filling with raspberry filling ? thx
Layne Kangas says
Yes, I think you could – enjoy!
Lou says
Hi, I live in Australia, what is cool whip?? Can anyone tell me a substitute for this please
Layne Kangas says
You could use our homemade whipped cream recipe as a substitute. Enjoy!
Lorie says
I bet this would be good with cream cheese instead of the sour cream
Brenda says
Yes, I make it with fresh sliced strawberries and I use 8oz of softened cream cheese! My family loves it😊
Dale says
Do you substitute the cream cheese for the sour cream or just add it as an extra ingredient?
Carrie says
I switched the sour cream for cream cheese, I softened it and mixed it with the pudding and milk. It came out good.
Cecil says
Did you try it or get a response?
Cecil says
Can I use a jiffy yellow cake mix?
Layne Kangas says
Hi, Cecil – we haven’t tested it like that!
Mary Darby says
Family loves it!
Shawn C Brown says
Is it purposeful that you are using less milk than called for in the pudding mix? At least the pursuing mix I’m using calls for 2 cups of milk. Is this to thicken it more?
Layne Kangas says
Yes, you want it to be the correct texture. Enjoy!
Jlbvk says
Can this be doubled? Baking for a crowd! Thank you.
Layne Kangas says
Yes, either in the a larger dish or you could just make a couple different batches of it. Enjoy!

I am going to make this for Thanksgiving this year 2021. Wish me luck !!! Looks good
Jiey says
Can I use whip cream in place of cool whip
Layne Kangas says
You can – it may change the texture/consistency of the end result, however. You could use our stabilized whipped cream. Enjoy!
Tess Walters says
I actually made this with chocolate Angel Food cake and a can of crushed pineapple that I drained really good. I made some chopped pecans and sprinkle those on the top.
Rachel Harshman says
Quick, simple and delicious! Thank you!
Liz says
What could you use instead of cherry pie filling? We can’t get that in New Zealand.
Layne Kangas says
Hi, Liz – you could make this with another fruit pie filling. I would guess you could make your own filling somehow but since we haven’t tested it like that, I can’t say for certain how to best make that work. Enjoy!
Pam says
I made this for our Christmas family gathering. It definitely lived up to its name. Absolutely delicious!
Jerri Brown says
yummy
Tracy says
Can I substitute a box of regular pudding, not instant?

Making today
Lorraine shaulis says
I’m going to make this for Easter

Hi, this an OMG cake! Love it. I first tried it 3 weeks ago at a friend’s belated

Jodie jones says
Can I make this as a trifle?
Peggy Charley says

Kelli Bryan says
Can’t wait to try gonna make for Easter Holiday 👍💕😋
Jean says
Hi, could I use fresh raspberries. Looks wonderful, thanks.

Cindy King says
Has anyone tried it with sugar free pudding and cool whip? Thinking of trying it for Easter. Trying to cut sone of sugar out.

Hey could I use fresh strawberries if I cook them with some sugar? Not a big cherry fan.

K says
Hi, I was wondering if I can use a springform cheesecake pan?
Layne Kangas says
No, I don’t think that will work well.
Nina says
I was wondering could you use just a white cake instead of an angle food cake ?
Cherie says
I was wondering the same thing! I’m trying it today!!
Cherie says
I was wondering the same thing about using white or yellow cake! I’m trying it today!! Might make the cake more mushy?
Cindy Hoffman says
Can you use a different kind of fruit besides cherries; like canned blueberries, blackberries, or raspberries?
Cherie says
Why do you add sour cream? Just curious
Donna DeGraw says
I would love to try this our 54 years married, but we dated two years then married. I would love make for the three of us.
Donna
SMILLER says

I love angel food cake,I think I might try strawberries, not sure!

Brenda Newman says
Add chocolate drizzle
Theresa says
I would use blueberry or strawberry.
Diane Grim says
Hi! I am a lover of pudding, but I am old fashioned. I did the the Cook N Stir Pudding. To me, makes a big difference. 😉🥰💗

Cheryl Warner says
Why couldn’t you use cream cheese instead of the sour cream and I’d use strawberries thickened in it’s juice. I can’t wait to try this and other recipes on this sight.
bbquilts says
This looks yummy. I am making for a potluck this weekend!
Emily Early says
I probably wouldn’t change anything but if I did I would try a yellow cake mix.

I would try this recipe with strawberries but also love the idea of the chocolate drizzle on top! Thanks for the great recipe.
Judi Cappa says
Love cherry flavor and angel food cake. No chocolate please
Halle Lisette Pierce says
I would add chocolate drizzle in top. Wonderful recipe! Look forward to trying this! Thanks
Halle Lisette Pierce says
I would add chocolate drizzle in top. Wonderful recipe! Thanks
Sherry Lynn Buikema says
I’d use strawberry pie filling instead of cherry only because I don’t like cherry.
Judith M Goodman says
I think it sounds delicious as it is and could use strawberries but cherries sound good to me, the angelfood cake seems perfect for the recipe and yes to the chocolate drizzle !!! might try lemon pudding or just stick to the vanilla but love the way it seems to me already
Doug Robinson says
Can’t wait to try this! I’m thinking of using blueberries and lemon pudding mix!!
Georgia says
OMG this is on the menu for this weekend, but I think I’m going to use blueberries instead of cherries. I think when I try it with cherries I will make it with a chocolate cake.
Abby Zimmel says
Although, I am allergic to strawberries, the cake looks great. I would use whipped cream.
Sally says
I make something similar but this looks really good. I made 2 of these for a picnic. I used blueberry and cherry. One with blueberry inside and cherry on top and one with cherry inside and blueberry on top. Perfect for July 4th. I’m going to try this recipe next week
Linda says
I would try using chocolate pudding with a drizzle of Kahlua for an adult version.
MARY CARR says
I’d substitute with Lemon Pudding & drizzle Chocolate
Shannon Daily says
This looks delicious! I would definitely try this with peaches! 😋😋
Mary says
I think this sounds fantastic and will have to try it. I would drizzle chocolate over the top after putting the remaining cherries on the whipped cream.
I think making this in the Fall with canned apples would be wonderful. You could then drizzle a caramel topping over it. This is making me hungry! 🙂
Lynn says
This is practically perfect. My only frustration is not being able to take more of the white sugar out of the recipe. I think cheesecake and white chocolate pudding mixes would be excellent.
Morgan Rutledge says
I would use, Strawberries and add a light chocolate drizzle. This cake looks amazing and I can’t wait to give it a try!!
Elizabeth M Heimlich says
This looks scrumptious! I might add blueberries to get the patriotic colors…
Terri Baldwin says
Sounds delicious! I would love to try this with strawberries and a chocolate drizzle. I think I would stick with the angel food cake and the vanilla pudding.
Melissa B Mitchell says
This sounds delicious! I would use either raspberry (for me) or lemon (for my husband and/or daughter) instead f the cherry pie filling!
Dort says
I’d try a white cake mix instead of Angel Food.
Delana Glenn says
Looks amazing. I think trying it with Chocolate pudding would be good.
Betty Schmitt says
Recipe sounds delicious. I would make it with strawberries or raspberries as I am not a cherries fan.
Neena says
I’d love to try this with mixed berries, has anyone done it?
Maureen Sneen says
A pudding flavor that would also work well with this recipe is chocolate pudding. Chocolate and cherries are always a hit.
Garnish with melted ganache piping over the top of this dessert…wow!
Terri Clark says
I’d like to try it with Strawberries, and a no-bake cheesecake filling instead of the pudding. Drizzle a strawberry syrup on top. Change it up occasionally with Strawberries and bananas, and switch back and forth between the pudding and the cheesecake filling. Yummm!!
Ann Jewell says
I would really like to try this with raspberries – would it work out OK? I just love raspberries.
Layne Kangas says
Hi, Ann – it would probably be very yummy with raspberries!
Sherry says
Wouldn’t change a thing and yet would try all your suggestions.
Dee says
I would use blackberries for a different surprise! Yummy!
Judith Barnes says
How about peach pie filling. Then drizzle with an almond flavored drizzle.
Bettsy says
Chocolate drizzle, no nuts.
Lacy says
I’d love to try this with strawberries!
Lynn Tilley says
This looks and sounds delicious!! Instead of cherries I would use strawberries when I make this cake!! Thanks for sharing!!
Kelli says
I wouldn’t change a thing! It looks so delicious just the way it is. Maybe after trying this way, I might switch it up. Strawberries and chocolate drizzle but still use the vanilla pudding. Maybe some lightly candied pecans on top.
Bobbie van says
I would try strawberries. You would have to make a tapioca/water pudding first. Then ad the fresh strawberries. You could also add cream cheese instead of sour cream
Bonnie West says
Would try cheesecake pudding or no bake cheesecake filling. Would love to try with peach pie filling. No chocolate.
Deborah says
This looks so delish. I’ve got to make it. I also would like to make it with blueberries.
Also make it with creamy peanut butter filling with bananas or chocolate filling with cherries.
Could use pound cake too.
Doris McCann says
I would just use Strawberry Pie Filling instead of the Cherry Pie Filling. Made one like this somewhat and it was great.
Linda Slagle says
I think I might use a chocolate drizzle on this cake and I can see using this recipe using a additional assorted berries, especially blueberries.
Jackie Miller says
This cake looks amazing! My question is this…could this be made into cupcake?
I can’t wait to try this
Layne Kangas says
Hi, Jackie – I don’t know how it would hold up in cupcake form. You could probably layer items into cupcake liners but people would probably need a spoon to eat it!
Tricia says
I would use strawberry topping and maybe some lemon pudding.
Tricia says
I tried the strawberries and next time I’ll use lemon pudding for a strawberry lemonade flavor.
Karen says
I think this would be fantastic with devil’s food cake and chocolate pudding!
Donna Walker says
This looks so good. I think this would work good with chocolate pudding and chocolate pound cake! Like a Black Forrest No Bake Dessert. With a few cherries and chocolate curls on top.
Leonie Anders says
I would use strawberry pie filling not cherry
Susan Volz says
I am gonna add choc drizzle as I am not an almond fan
Marcia Martin says
I also think Fresh strawberries 🍓 and some crushed pineapple and banana bits then chocolate drizzle to give it a banana split flavor.?????some crushed pecans sprinkled over?
Ellie Walker says
I would change angel food cake for pound cake, there is more structure to pound cake & will hold entire cake together much better
GLORIA CARDENAS says
I love easy to make recipes. So this is a dessert I’d make.
I would use strawberries and a cheesecake filing and cool whip.
Thank you for sharing
Rose Seabron says
This cake looks and tastes absolutely delicious. You asked for some variations. Here are a few I had in mind. Peach cobbler topping with vanilla pudding yelllow butter cake mix- peaches and cream. Or maybe raspberry friuit cobbler topping lemon
Pudding or lemon curd on top of lemon cake, or chocolate pudding on top of chocolate devils food cake topped with crushed up Oreos chocolate chips chocolate and vanilla and walnuts and pecans with a hot fudge drizzle. Or cranberry orange sauce topping spice raisin cake.
Just some ideas I ‘m throwing out there!!!
Sincerely,
Rose Seabron

Jana Vaughn says
This looks fabulous! However, I would probably use sliced macerated strawberries or blackberries in summer! Can’t wait to try this! Thank you for the recipe.
Laura Yarzebinski says
Sounds wonderful! I’d try it with red raspberries, blueberries or strawberries too!
Linda says
I would double the cake recipe, use a 9 X 13 cake pan, use a can of cherry pie filling for one layer and a can of blueberry pie filling for the second lawyer. Red – White – Blue for any of the patriotic holidays
Stephanie says
I would to try this recipe with a banana flavoured cake & caramel/butterscotch pudding😋
Beverly Lloyd says
Haven’t made this yet but it sounds delicious. I might make it with either strawberry or blueberry pie filling.
Karen Riffle says
Delicious as is but I plan to try it with pound cake.

Cheryl Ailes says
I made heaven on earth cake. I made it with white cake mix and strawberries. My family loved it. My great grandson wants me to make it all the time. Thank you for the recipe.
Jane says
I wonder if you could change it up by using sliced up bananas as your fruit. Or maybe a blend of different kinds of your favorite fruits.
Jane J says
I’d like to change it up by using bananas as my fruit or maybe even a blend of some of my favorite fruits like blueberries and strawberries with the bananas.
Nancy says
This sounds wonderful. I think I would also try it with peach pie filling or maybe strawberries.
Filip Filipeu says
This cake is so delicious, fresh and healthy. If we switch to blueberry can use the say ingredient? If not would it be possible to provide new update.
Thank you Filip
Layne Kangas says
Hi, Filip – you can find our blueberry version here. Enjoy!
Rebecca McKnight says
I’m thinking canned pineapple might taste good for summertime. The cherry pie filling sounds wonderful!
Lorraine says

Allie Lawson-Moen says
I’ve made this several times already with Cherry filling. A dear friend got married and wanted a non-traditional “cake” for her reception. I stepped up with this. The reception is tomorrow! Per her request, I made 6 strawberry and 2 lemon crème!! Her favorite desserts are angel food cake and strawberries. I’m excited to see how the reactions will be!
Sharon Seiber says
Any low-carb and sugar recipes would be greatly appreciated. My son is a new diabetic and would love something pretty and delicious for dessert! I wonder if it could be made with Stevia? This recipe sure sounds great!
Layne Kangas says
Hi, Sharon – we don’t focus on dietary-specific recipes but many of them can have simple swaps like Stevia, etc. to make them diabetic-friendly. Enjoy!
Cindy says
I make this with store bought sugar free angel good cake, no sugar added cherry pie filling and sugar free cool whip. It is delicious.
Margie says
I’m sure you know by now that sugar free items sometimes have more carbs than reg ingredients. My daughter and granddaughter are both type 1 diabetics. Diagnosed 2 weeks apart when my granddaughter was only 2 yrs old. She’s 20 now;). They both have eaten a reg helping of this and take insulin according.
Not very often but occasionally.
George Moy says
I haven’t made that recipe on that cake yet, but judging it from what it looks like, it reminds me of a parfait,is it a giantic parfait?because if it is count me in for one,thanks for the recipe and idea,I’ve been looking for a cake/whipped topping dessert for a long time.
Carole A Lee says
This recipe looks amazing. I would love to try it, but my husband isn’t into cherries. Is there another canned fruit that can be used instead?
Layne Kangas says
Hi, Carole – here is our strawberry version, enjoy!
John says
I went with blueberry and also mixed the Cool Whip with pudding, milk, and yogurt. Delicious!
Susan G says
This is now one of my top five desserts!!! Easy too! I used strawberry filling and substituted the
angel food for a shortbread crust. The crust is made with crushed shortbread cookies, butter, and a small amount of sugar. I poured the strawberry right on top and then the pudding mixture. So delicious!! A keeper!

Gigi says
This is a keeper. So many different flavor fillings you could use as well to change it up.
Cathy says
Really tasty! Would make again!
Carol A Tumulty says
Many of your recipes call for instant pudding. My problem is that my grandson is intolerant to artifical food dyes which is very common amonst special needs populations. I cannot find instant pudding that doesn’t have these dyes. Do you know of a source? I want to also say that the recipes are perfectly designed for using to teach a challenged person how to follow the them.
Carol
Layne Kangas says
Hi, Carol – I’m glad you’re enjoying our recipes! I am not sure of a substitute unfortunately. Maybe Google and see if there are any suggestions that could work with his dietary needs? Hopefully someone will have shared something online that could help. Good luck!
Linda says
Aldi grocery stores carry dye free pudding and gelatin
Jana says
Try making a homemade mousse with whatever items he can have and use instead of pudding
Donna Miller says
Try it with homemade pudding
Lavina says
Anxious to try your no bake dessert s and perhaps others.
Recipes that are easy for a handicap lady on a wheel chair you. Thank you.
renee says
This looks really good, but I’m not big on cherry stuff. Wonder how it would be with strawberry pie filling. Has anyone tried it with Strawberry pie filling??? Thanks
Layne Kangas says
Hi, Renee – try our strawberry heaven on earth cake… enjoy!
Delphia Simpson says
I’m a big blueberry fan so I’m going to make one cherry and one blueberry. Yummy 😋
Shirley says
Made this for a birthday. Everyone couldn’t get enough. Fabulous and delicious recipe!!!
Lichtenwalter Bonnie says
Yummy! I used whipping cream with a little powdered sugar and almond extract. I like the no baking recipes. I tend to get more flour on me than in the cakes. Thank you!
