Cream Cake with Bing Cherry Sauce

"This is an elegant, yet simple cake to make for a special occasion. The white cake is layered with a vanilla pudding in the middle, frosted with sweetened whipped cream, dusted with chocolate curls and served with a warm Bing cherry sauce. For best results refrigerate the finished cake for at least 3-4 hours before serving."
