Notes
If you are baking the cake yourself for this recipe, make sure to let it cool to room temperature 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.
You can allow the cake to chill in the fridge for as little as 5 hours, but 8 hours to overnight lets the layers of angel food cake absorb all the pudding mixture and pie filling.
