I have also seen this made by crumbling the angel food cake in the bottom of a dish then covering with the cream cheese/sugar filling and then the fruit on top! Very relish this way!

I have baked an angel food in a 9X13 pan but the result wasn't very satisfactory. Church ladies were doing it, didn't know about parchment paper then. This looks scrumptious, and no way did those slices come out of a tube pan. I have this double loaf pan with feet; it's for angel food cakes and big loaves of bread, got it when I lost my mom years ago, never used it. Well, Wilton still has them. Not terribly expensive. I read where you have to line that pan (16 in long) to the max with parchment paper to bake an angel food in it but that's what I would do, finally get a chance to use it for something. Then my problem is I can't find an affordable serving dish to turn it out on without cutting it in half. For this dessert, not an issue, but I finally bought a tray just a little too short. Well, I can cut off just one end to make it fit - duh.

Why couldn't you bake this cake , by making it a sheet cake and cutting in half and then just stack . Put the topping on a serving tray and then put half of the cake on the topping on the tray =then put your filling in the center and top with the other half. Finish off by frosting the top of the cake or all of it..As you serve put a nice serving of cherry pie filling on top. Seems to me it would be easier.This would also be very good with ice cream on the side==yum yum

Baking a sheet cake sounds easier especially for those of us that are "level challanged" when spliting things in half and Angel Food cake is so delicate to begin with. Great idea.

Pretty, pretty easy, and I'm not guessing here, because I know, with Duncan Hines, it's for sure going to be pretty tasty. Can't wait to make this.

This recipe is so delicious! I split the batter between two loaf pans and baked according to directions on box. Made it super easy to slice and put together! Definitely will make again.

This was so delicious and sinfully good. I put this together for an office party. So many people loved it that I had virtually no left overs for me to take home. I am baking this again.

This is a fantastic dessert. I used store angel food cake. For this shortcut I needed two bought cakes. Everyone loved this.

Our grocery store has angel food cake already baked but it made in a tube cake pan....any ideas as to how to assemble? I was thinking of making two layers then frost the first layer with cream cheese mixture then putting the top layer on and frost the rest of the cake (think of making more cream cheese mixture in order to frost the entire cake) and then top with the cherry stuff on top. I was talking to someone else and they said to put the cherry stuff on the inner layer frosted.....I thought it might be too juicy and would saturate the bottom layer. I think it would be great that way if the cake disappears with no left overs. There is only two of us and no way will it disappear in one sitting especially with only fhe first week of new year resolutions would be blown. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Maybe bake it in a 13x9 pan and then cut it in half or slices. I will certainly try this, it looks heavenly!

Bake the cake according to package instructions usually means a tube pan or angel food cake pan or whatever pan size the package recommends. When slicing, I think you can slice any way you darn well please as long as it fits into the pan for preparation. Sound delish!

How do you bake this. Do you need a square pan. It did not mention it. It looks lucious though.

this does not look like what the recipe says. Looks like the cake needs to be sliced in half and the cream cheese frosting put in the middle. Looks lucious!

not a review just a question. Which way do I cut the cake? Do I bake it in a 9x13 pan or an angelfood pan?
