- Top the cake layer with ⅔ of the cherry pie filling, spreading it evenly.
- Layer the remaining cake cubes over the cherry pie filling.
- Pour the prepared pudding mixture evenly over the top layer of cake cubes, gently spreading it into an even layer.
- Add whipped topping and garnish:
- Use a rubber or offset spatula to spread the thawed frozen whipped topping evenly over the pudding layer.
- Drizzle the remaining cherry pie filling over the whipped topping.
- Sprinkle the top with almond slivers (toasted, if desired) as a garnish.
- Chill: Place the baking dish in the refrigerator and let the cake set for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the layers to meld and the cake to firm up.
- Serve: Once chilled and set, slice the Heaven On Earth Cake into squares and serve. Enjoy this light and fruity dessert!
