Do you have a full house to serve dinner to on Valentine’s Day? This simple Chocolate Cherry Cake doesn’t take long to prepare and will serve 12 people. Just because it is easy doesn’t mean it lacks any flavor though. The cake is moist and the frosting is a light fluffy chocolate dream. This is a chilled cake and can be made a day ahead of time too.
Chocolate Cherry Cake
Ingredients
- 1 Chocolate Cake mix
- 1 (4 oz) box of Cherry Jello
- 1 envelope Dream Whip
- 1 package Instant Chocolate Pudding Mix
- 1 1/2 cups Cold Milk
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, dissolve jello in 3/4 cups boiling water.
- Add 1/2 cup of cold water, stir and set aside at room temperature.
- Mix and bake cake in a 9 x 13 inch pan according to cake instructions.
- Cool for 20- 25 minutes.
- Poke holes with a toothpick or a fork all over the cake, and pour jello mix evenly across cake.
- Refrigerate for a few hours and chill the bowl in the refrigerator that you will be using to make the frosting.
- When cake is completely cooled, In the mixing bowl, blend & whip the pudding mix, dream whip and milk until stiff about 5-8 minutes.

- * I like to use my glass cake pan that has a lid, then the frosting never sticks to any plastic wrap:).
