# Step-by-Step Guide:

06 -
Evenly spread the thickened pudding mixture over the top layer of cake cubes.
07 -
Carefully spread the thawed whipped topping over the pudding layer.
08 -
Dollop the remaining cherry pie filling onto the whipped topping. Using a spoon, knife, or skewer, gently swirl to create a marbled effect.

Sprinkle the thinly sliced almonds evenly across the top of the cherry filling layer.

Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours to allow flavors to meld. Keep chilled until ready to serve.
