Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Mix the angel food cake mix with water in a large bowl, using a hand mixer for 2 minutes until light and fluffy. Pour into a 9x13 baking pan and bake at 350°F for 30-35 minutes. Let cool completely.
  2. Spread half of the cooled cake cubes in the bottom of a 9x9 baking dish. Press down gently to create a firm base.
  3. Spread 2/3 of the strawberry pie filling over the cake cubes, ensuring an even distribution.
  4. Place the remaining cake cubes on top of the strawberry layer to create a second layer.
  5. Beat the cream cheese until smooth, then mix in the pudding mix, milk, and lemon juice until thick and creamy.
  6. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the layered cake, smoothing it down to ensure even coverage.
  7. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 3-4 hours.
  8. Spread the Cool Whip whipped topping over the cake, garnishing with reserved strawberry filling and sliced almonds if desired.
  9. Slice into squares and serve chilled.
