Description
A delicious and moist Black Forest Poke Cake topped with cherry pie filling and whipped cream.
Ingredients
- 1 box chocolate cake mix (15.25 oz)
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Chocolate shavings or grated chocolate for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes until well combined. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then poke holes all over the top using the handle of a wooden spoon.
- While the cake is still warm, spoon the cherry pie filling over the top, allowing it to fill the holes. Let the cake cool completely.
- In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Spread the whipped cream over the cooled cake.
- Garnish with chocolate shavings or grated chocolate. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, add a splash of cherry liqueur to the cherry pie filling before pouring it over the cake.
- You can substitute the cherry pie filling with raspberry or strawberry for a different fruit flavor.
