About

Angelically-delicious doesn't even begin to cover it! There's nothing quite like the majesty or the beauty of this Heaven-on-Earth Cake. Tender, light, ethereal angel food cake (of course) supports a tart, jammy, vibrant cherry filling, with tangy and creamy layers on top. A little sprinkling of nuts adds a divine crunch that's exactly what this treat needs to go from Just-an-Amazing Cake to Heaven-on-Earth Cake. Sweeten your day with a slice or two!
