This cake gets its “heavenly” reputation from the combination of soft cake, creamy custard, and fluffy topping—a delightful texture contrast that’s sweet but not overpowering.

If you want, I can give you a “from scratch” version that’s even more decadent, without using a boxed mix. It’s closer to the classic Southern version of Heaven on Earth Cake.
