Recipe View Spread 1/4 of the whipped cream evenly over the bottom cake layer. Cover whipped cream with a thin layer of pie filling. Place second layer of cake on top. Spread another 1/4 of the whipped cream over the second layer; cover with pie filling. Place third layer of cake on top. Spread remaining whipped cream on top; cover with remaining pie filling. (20 minutes)

For an extra touch of elegance, consider adding a dusting of cocoa powder or chocolate shavings on top.
To prevent the cake layers from sticking, line the bottom of the pans with parchment paper rounds.
If you want a boozy kick, you can brush the cake layers with Kirschwasser (cherry liqueur) before adding the whipped cream and filling.
