To make this scrumptious Black Forest Trifle, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 box chocolate cake mix
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 cups cherry pie filling
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder for garnish
These ingredients are readily available in most grocery stores, making it easy to grab what you need. I love how simple and accessible this recipe is for everyone!
Instructions
- Bake the chocolate cake according to package directions and let it cool.
- In a mixing bowl, whip together heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until soft peaks form.
- Crumble the cooled cake and layer it in a trifle dish with cherry pie filling and whipped cream, repeating layers.

Notes
- Ensure the cake is completely cooled before crumbling to prevent mushiness.
- You can use store-bought whipped cream as a time-saver.
