### How to Make Heaven on Earth Cake

**1. Cube the cake:**
Cut the angel food cake into bite-sized cubes and place half of them in the bottom of a 9×13-inch dish.

**2. Add the cherry layer:**
Spoon about half of the cherry pie filling evenly over the cake cubes.

**3. Mix the pudding layer:**
In a medium bowl, whisk together the pudding mix, cold milk, and sour cream until smooth. Let it sit for a few minutes to thicken.

**4. Spread the pudding:**
Pour the pudding mixture over the cherry and cake layer. Top with the remaining cake cubes.

**5. Finish with topping:**
Spread the whipped topping evenly across the top. Spoon the remaining cherry pie filling in dollops across the surface. Use a knife to gently swirl it into the whipped topping for a marbled effect.

**6. Chill:**
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to let the layers set and flavors blend beautifully.

**7. Garnish and serve:**
Before serving, sprinkle with slivered almonds or add a few extra cherries for a decorative touch.
