- 1 (3.4 oz) package instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1 cup Cool Whip, thawed

Instructions:
- Prepare the Cake:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.

- Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cool 1 completely in the pan.
- Assemble the Cake:
- Once the cake is cool, crumble it into a large bowl.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the cherry pie filling, pudding mix, and milk until smooth.
- Pour the pudding mixture over the crumbled cake and mix until well combined.
- Fold in the Cool Whip and chopped walnuts (if using).
- Chill and Serve:
- Pour the mixture into a 9×13 inch dish and spread evenly.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight, to set.
- Serve chilled and enjoy!
Tips:
- For a richer flavor, use homemade vanilla pudding instead of instant.
- You can substitute the cherry pie filling with other fruit fillings like blueberry or strawberry.
- To make it a festive dessert, top with whipped cream and fresh berries.
