FAQ
Q: Can I use homemade angel food cake?
A: Absolutely! Homemade cake adds a special touch, though store-bought works great in a pinch.
Q: Is sour cream necessary?
A: Sour cream enhances the creaminess and adds subtle tang. You can substitute with plain Greek yogurt or omit it for a lighter version.
Q: Can I make this a day ahead?
A: Yes! In fact, it's even better when made a day in advance—it gives the layers time to settle and soak in flavor.
Q: What if I don't like cherry?
A: You can substitute with any fruit pie filling you enjoy. Blueberry, apple, or strawberry all work wonderfully.
