Place half of angel food cake pieces in the bottom of a deep 8-x-8-inch or 9x9-inch baking dish in an even layer. Spread 1 cup cherry pie filling over top of cake. Top with remaining cake pieces in an even layer.
Whisk together vanilla pudding mix, whole milk, and sour cream in a large bowl until slightly thickened and smooth, about 1 minute.
