This Pumpkin Angel Food Cake is an easy dessert for fall. Layers of creamy no bake pumpkin filling inside a store-bought cake can be ready in no time at all.
It's time to celebrate. Get out the party hats and the streamers. Oh, and don't forget the cake. We most definitely need cake because every food holiday needs a cake to be involved. Am I right?
I absolutely love all these fun food holidays that someone decided to add to the calendar. I am all over any reason to make and eat more cake.
This cake couldn't be any easier to serve. Thaw it in the package, then slice and serve. My family enjoyed snacking on one of these delicious cakes one night after dinner.
But...you know how I like to "jazz" things up a bit, right? I mean, have you seen this strawberry mousse cake or this chocolate peanut butter cake?
My husband loves angel food cake. He will often bring home one of those cakes from the store bakery that is covered in some sort of whipped frosting. Yes, even with all the treats that come from my kitchen, he still goes for these cakes.
So when I started thinking about how to make a fun, new treat using an angel food cake, these covered cakes came to mind. I wanted to make something that my husband would love because he is my favorite. But to make it even more decadent, I filled it with a no bake pumpkin cheesecake filling and covered the entire thing with Cool Whip. A few sprinkles of pumpkin pie filling and toffee bits finished it off.
This pumpkin toffee angel food cake looks fancy enough to serve at any dinner party. Everyone will think you worked so hard on it, but you and I both know it can be made in no time at all. Let's let them keep thinking you slaved all day on it. It will be our little secret. Wink, wink!

I love semi homemade recipes! I love angel food cakes, but I haven't ventured into making one because they seem a little finique to make. Sara Lee has awesome products and I love hwo you put your own touch on the finished product. Pumpkin cheesecake + soft angel food cake = winner! Love how you frosted the cake too, so pretty. 🙂
Jocelyn Brubaker
Thanks so much Tina!!
