  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box chocolate cake mix
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup water or cherry juice
  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup cherry pie filling
  • 1 tub whipped topping
  • 1 cup fresh cherries (optional)
  • ¼ cup dark chocolate curls or shavings

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven according to package instructions for the cake mix. The warmth will help create a perfectly baked cake.
  2. Prepare the chocolate cake mix as directed on the box, pour it into a greased 9×13-inch pan, and bake until a toothpick comes out clean, about 25-30 minutes.
  3. Let the baked cake cool for 5-10 minutes before poking holes all over its surface with the end of a wooden spoon or skewer. This step allows the liquids to soak in effectively.
  4. Pour sweetened condensed milk evenly over the holes, watching it absorb without pooling on top. The aroma will be irresistible!
  5. Spread whipped topping evenly across the surface of your cake, then spoon cherry pie filling generously on top for added sweetness and color.
  6. Garnish with fresh cherries and dark chocolate curls just before serving, creating an elegant presentation that invites everyone to dig in.
  7. Refrigerate for at least two hours to enhance the flavors before cutting into squares and serving.
