  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 12 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box chocolate cake mix (plus ingredients instructed on the box: typically eggs, oil, and water)
  • 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 (21-ounce) can cherry pie filling
  • 1 (8-ounce) tub whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed
  • ½ cup mini chocolate chips or chocolate shavings

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven and bake the chocolate cake according to package instructions in a 9×13-inch pan.
  2. Once baked, let the cake cool for 10 minutes before using the handle of a wooden spoon to poke holes all over the cake.
  3. Pour sweetened condensed milk over the warm cake so it seeps into the holes, then spread cherry pie filling on top.
  4. Allow the cake to cool completely before spreading whipped topping over it. Garnish with mini chocolate chips or shavings if desired. Chill for at least 2 hours before serving.
