Black Forest trifle cake

[GotGarlic]

I took a couple shortcuts on this one

* Godiva Dark Chocolate Cake Mix, baked according to package directions in 8x8-inch baking pan
* Instant milk chocolate pudding, prepared with whole milk
* 2 21-oz. cans cherry pie filling
* 1 pint whipping cream, whipped to stiff peaks
* 1 cup frozen mixed cherries, thawed, for garnish
* 1 dark chocolate bar, for garnish

Let cake cool completely. Meanwhile, make chocolate pudding and chill. Cut cake into bite-sized pieces.

Spread a thin layer of whipped cream in the bottom of a trifle bowl. Cover with a layer of cake, then a layer of pudding, then a layer of cherry pie filling, then a layer of whipped cream. Continue with a second layer. Leave a rim of cherry pie filling uncovered (see picture below).

Decorate the top with cherries and grated chocolate. Chill for at least one hour before serving.

GG, I am planning on making this for the holidays but I have one question. "Godiva Dark Chocolate Cake Mix" is this the brownie mix? I can't find cake mix. TIA

This is what I used. I'm sorry you can't find it. I bet brownies would work, too.

Thank you, GG. It says New so maybe my store doesn't stock it yet.

Could be. Sometimes they roll out new flavors to certain test markets before releasing a product nationwide.
