Time 3h30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

5 c angel food cake, cubed
1/4 c cherry liqueur, optional
1 c confectioners' sugar
1--------8 oz cream cheese
1 pkg whipped topping, thawed, divided
1/2 c toasted pecans
1 can(s) cherry pie filling, 21oz.

Spread cherry filling over top or alternate layers with cherries. Put 2 Tbsp. whipped topping on top. Chill at least 3 hours.

Tips:

  • Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing will result in a tough cake.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the cake rises evenly.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
