1-Getting started: Getting started with Heaven On Earth Cake is straightforward and fun, beginning with preparing your ingredients and layering them just right.

2-First: preheat your space by cutting half of the prepared angel food cake into 1-inch cubes and placing half of those cubes in a single layer in an ungreased 9×9 inch baking dish. This sets the base for the fruity layers that make this dessert so special.

3-Next: spoon 2/3 of the strawberry pie filling evenly over the cake layer to add that vibrant fruitiness.

4-Then: add the remaining cake cubes on top for another layer of lightness.

5-In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth, and mix in the pudding mix, milk, and lemon juice if you’re using it, until everything combines fully.

6-Pour this mixture over the layered cake and pie filling, then cover and refrigerate for 4-5 hours to let it set properly.

7-Once chilled, spread the thawed whipped topping evenly over the dessert and add the remaining strawberry pie filling on top, swirling gently for a beautiful finish.

8-Finally, garnish with sliced almonds and mint if desired, and refrigerate until you’re ready to serve this takes about 10 minutes of prep and 4-5 hours of chill time for a total of around 4 hours 10 minutes to 5 hours 10 minutes.
