Helpful Tips & Tricks When Making This Blueberry Dream Cake

  • Cutting The Cake – When cutting the angel food cake, do so with a serrated knife in a sawing motion. This simple technique will ensure that the cake pieces don’t lose their airy, fluffy texture from being smooshed when they get cut!
  • Toppings – The top of this cake is truly beautiful, with its deep blue color popping against the white cool whip! Dress the appearance up even more by dropping spoonfuls of the filling onto the cool whip and then using a skewer or knife to swirl them together.
  • Chilling – Don’t skip out on chilling this dessert! The chill time is where the cake layers set while the cake pieces become moister from soaking up the moisture from the vanilla and blueberry.
  • Adding Extra – For thicker layers, add an extra half of angel food cake. You can also add extra pie filling to spread in the center of the cake. Just be careful not to use too much filling, or the cake may become too sweet!
  • Choose Your Serving Dish – The colors and layers of this recipe really make it one worth showing off! When following this recipe as is, it fills a 9X13 baking dish. However, you can also use a trifle bowl or even mason jars for individual servings!

Delicious Variations To Try!

  • Pie Fillings – Swap out canned blueberry filling for another flavor of your choice! Cherry, raspberry, or even apple would all be tasty in this Heaven On Earth Cake! Try our Strawberry Heaven On Earth Cake recipe too!
  • Pudding Flavor – Instead of vanilla pudding, you can try lemon pudding! The combination of blueberry and lemon would be refreshingly delicious! Chocolate lovers may also want to try this dessert with chocolate pudding!
  • Filling Options – Instead of pie filling, homemade jams or jellies can be used for filling!
  • Fresh Fruit – Cleaned, chopped, fresh fruit can be used in place of canned filling. This would bring a wonderfully fresh taste to this dessert!

Storage Instructions For Heaven On Earth Cake

If you have any leftovers, you can either transfer them to an airtight container or tightly wrap the dish with plastic wrap. Afterward, transfer them to the refrigerator and enjoy the leftovers for up to 2 days.

I find any longer than two days, the cake starts to become soggy.

Can I Make This Blueberry Cake Trifle Ahead Of Time?

Yes, this is actually the perfect make-ahead recipe! When it sits overnight, the cake soaks up the creamy vanilla layer as well as the blueberry filling.

This results in a more flavorful dessert that’s extra moist and delicious!

Is It Hard To Serve This Dessert Out Of The Dish?

Not at all, as there’s no knife needed! For easy serving, just use a spatula or a spoon to scoop it out of the dish. The portions can be served on plates or bowls, whichever you prefer!

Can This Recipe Be Doubled To Serve An Even Larger Crowd?

Of course! To double the recipe, you’ll want to use a 5.1-ounce packet of instant vanilla pudding, 2 cups of whole milk, and 1 1/2 cups of sour cream OR Greek yogurt. As well as two 14-ounce angel food cakes, 32 ounces of blueberry filling, and 12 ounces of cool whip.

Once doubled, you’ll want to layer the ingredients in a 10X15 baking dish!

    2. 1 boîte (3,4 oz) de pouding instantané à la vanille non préparé
      1½ tasse de lait entier
      1 tasse de crème sure ou de yaourt grec
      14 onces de gâteau des anges coupé en cubes de 1 pouce, nous utilisons du commerce
      1 boîte (21 oz) de garniture pour tarte aux bleuets
      8 onces de Cool Whip décongelé
      3 cuillères à soupe d’éclats d’amandes
      INSTRUCTIONS
      Dans un bol à mélanger moyen, fouetter ensemble le pudding à la vanille, le lait et la crème sure jusqu’à consistance lisse et qu’il commence à épaissir. Mettre de côté.
      1 boîte (3,4 oz) de pouding instantané à la vanille, 1½ tasse de lait entier, 1 tasse de crème sure
      Coupez le gâteau des anges en cubes de 1 pouce, puis répartissez-en uniformément la moitié au fond du plat de cuisson.
      14 onces de gâteau des anges
      Étalez environ les ⅔ de la garniture pour tarte sur le gâteau, puis recouvrez-le du reste du gâteau des anges.
      1 boîte (21 oz) de garniture pour tarte aux bleuets

      Étalez uniformément tout le mélange de pudding à la vanille sur la couche de gâteau, puis recouvrez-la de Cool Whip. Assurez-vous de les répartir sur tout le gâteau.
      8 onces de Cool Whip
      Déposez des cuillerées du reste de la garniture à tarte sur le gâteau. Vous pouvez utiliser un couteau à beurre ou une brochette pour faire tourner la garniture à tarte. Essayez de vous assurer que chaque tranche recevra une bonne quantité.
      1 boîte (21 oz) de garniture pour tarte aux bleuets
      Placer au réfrigérateur à découvert pour refroidir pendant 4 à 6 heures ou toute la nuit. Le réfrigérer aidera les couches à prendre et laissera les saveurs se développer.

    I haven’t made this yet but it has to taste wonderful. I’ve made a cherry version in the past and it was great and very easy to make.

    1. If you loved the cherry version, you’ll absolutely love the blueberry! Check out my lemon version as well! Thanks for the 5 star review, Colleen!
