How to Make 2-Ingredient Cherry Angel Food Cake

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
2. In a large bowl, add the dry angel food cake mix and the entire can of cherry pie filling.
3. Gently stir until fully combined. The batter will be thick and fluffy.
4. Pour the batter into an ungreased 9×13 baking dish.
5. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is set and a toothpick comes out mostly clean.
6. Let cool slightly, then slice and serve.
7. Top with whipped cream if desired.

That’s it — no complicated steps, no stress.

Serving Ideas

This cake is delicious on its own, but it’s even better topped with:

• Fresh whipped cream
• Vanilla ice cream
• Fresh cherries or berries
• A light dusting of powdered sugar

It’s light enough for warm weather but cozy enough to enjoy year-round.
