- Spoon half of the cherry pie filling into the center of the cake.
- Carefully place the second cake layer on top, flat side down.

Frost the Cake: Use the reserved pudding mixture to frost the sides of the cake, ensuring an even coating all around.

Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the cake until serving time to allow the flavors to meld and the pudding icing to set. This cake is best served chilled.
