Quick And Easy Fruity Angel Food Cake with a Cream Cheese Topping

                                                                       


This is the 2 Ingredient Angel Food Cake you have been hearing so much about. I tried it and all I can say is WOW! You will not believe how fast & easy this is!


1 Box Angel Food Cake Mix
1 Can of Fruit Pie Filling, this one pictured above was a can of Blueberry Filling
Spray your 9x13 pan Preheat Oven to 350 Degrees
In a large deep bowl dump in your cake mix, I used Duncan Hines. Next dump in the pie filling. Now fold and stir in the pie filling until all is combined. No mixer needed. Pour into your prepared pan and pop it into the oven. Bake for 30 minutes or so until cake test done! Remove from oven and let cool. Next the Cream Cheese topping!

Cream Cheese Topping
1 Small box of Instant Vanilla Pudding
1Cup Milk 
8 Ounces of Cream Cheese softened
8 Ounce Tub of Cool Whip Thawed.
In a bowl using a whisk mix the pudding and the 1 cup of milk until well combined and set. 
In a mixing bowl beat the cream cheese until fluffy. Now beat in the pudding. Once combined beat in the Cool Whip. Once this is all mixed well spoon it over your cooled cake. Refrigerate until serving.

The picture above was a double batch & you just double all of the ingredients. I baked this in a 11 x16 deep pan for about 50 minutes& it made a cake large enough for forty square pieces to serve. It was delicious! I have tried Strawberry too and that was very good as well. This is a great cake & would be fun to make with children as it is so easy. ENJOY!
