Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Cake
- 2 cups chocolate cake, cut into cubes
Cherries
- 1 cup pitted cherries (fresh or canned)
Whipped Cream
- 1 to 1 ½ cups heavy whipped cream, sweetened to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the chocolate cake: Begin by cutting the chocolate cake into evenly sized cubes to create manageable layers for the trifle.
- Layer the ingredients: In a large glass trifle bowl or individual serving glasses, start with a layer of chocolate cake cubes. Add a layer of pitted cherries on top of the cake, followed by a generous layer of sweetened whipped cream. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a whipped cream topping.
- Chill the trifle: Cover the assembled trifle and refrigerate it for at least 2 hours or until well chilled. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully and the dessert to set.
- Serve: Garnish with a few whole cherries or chocolate shavings if desired and serve chilled for a refreshing and indulgent treat.
Notes
- Using fresh cherries adds a natural tartness, while canned or maraschino cherries provide extra sweetness.
- For a richer flavor, you can add a splash of cherry liqueur or chocolate syrup between layers.
- Make sure not to over-soak the cake cubes to avoid a soggy trifle.
- Whipped cream can be stabilized with a bit of gelatin if preparing well in advance.
