Substations and Variations
Not feeling the cherry almond thing today? You can easily turn this easy summertime dessert into a lemon lover’s dream.
Lemon- To make a lemon angel food cake dessert, simply swap the almond extract in the filling with a teaspoon of fresh lemon juice! It tastes wonderful with the lemon pie filling, or you can make homemade lemon curd!
Pie Filling Substitutions-
- Blueberry
- Apple
- Peach
- Mixed berry
- Strawberry
Cool Whip – Homemade whipped cream also works well in this cake, if you don’t have cool whip or prefer not to use it. Or try making our homemade cool whip instead.
Tips and Tricks
- Make it in Advance- I like this cake best when it has had the chance to chill in the fridge. You can make it the night before and let it set in the refrigerator overnight.
- Serve as a trifle- This dessert is beautiful served in a glass trifle bowl too!
- Cool the Cake- Be sure to use a completely cooled cake before assembly!
- Storage- Keep this dessert in the fridge in airtight container (or covered with plastic wrap) for up to 3 days.
