Layers of light and fluffy angel food cake, cool and creamy vanilla filling, a waterfall of semi-sweet chocolate and almonds make up this seemingly-fancy but super-easy layered Boston cream pie recipe.

To add my own special twist, I sprinkled sliced almonds to the top of the cake. Doesn’t it make it just that much prettier? Plus, who doesn’t love a little crunch of almond?

Evan helped me put this layered Boston cream pie with almonds together, and of course, he had to grab just one little taste of the filling. I’ll admit that I grabbed one little taste, too!

The filling features COOL-WHIP and JELL-O Instant Vanilla Pudding so it’s so cool and creamy.
