Categories     dessert

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Nonstick cooking spray, for the baking pan
One 16-ounce box chocolate cake mix
1 cup dark chocolate chips
One 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup milk
1 cup milk
One 3.4-ounce packet instant chocolate pudding
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
One 8-ounce container frozen whipped topping, thawed
Maraschino cherries, drained, for decorating (optional)

Steps:

  • For the cake: Spray a 9-by-13-inch cake pan with cooking spray.
  • Bake the cake in the prepared pan according to the package instructions. Allow to cool slightly, then, using the handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes all over the cake.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh cherries. You can also use frozen cherries, but be sure to thaw them and drain them well before using.
  • If you don't have a cherry pitter, you can use a small paring knife to remove the pits.
  • To make the chocolate ganache, you can use either semisweet or bittersweet chocolate. If you use semisweet chocolate, you may want to add a little bit of sugar to taste.
  • Be sure to let the cake cool completely before poking holes in it. This will help to prevent the cake from crumbling.
  • You can use any flavor of pudding mix that you like. Chocolate, vanilla, and cherry are all good choices.
  • Be sure to chill the cake for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help to set the pudding and make the cake easier to slice.
