Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Cake
- 8 oz chocolate cake, cut into cubes
Cherries
- 1 cup pitted cherries (fresh or canned, drained if canned)
Whipped Cream
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare Whipped Cream: In a chilled mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Set aside.
- Layer Ingredients: In a trifle bowl or large glass serving dish, place a layer of chocolate cake cubes evenly on the bottom.
- Add Cherries: Spread an even layer of pitted cherries over the chocolate cake cubes.
- Top with Whipped Cream: Spoon a generous layer of whipped cream over the cherries, smoothing it with a spatula.
- Repeat Layers: Repeat the layering of chocolate cake, cherries, and whipped cream until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of whipped cream on top.
- Chill: Cover the trifle and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld and the dessert to set.
- Serve: Once chilled, serve the trifle chilled as a decadent dessert.
Notes
- For extra flavor, consider adding a splash of cherry liqueur or kirsch to the cherries before layering.
- Use fresh cherries when in season for the best taste, canned or frozen cherries work well too.
- Chilling the trifle overnight intensifies the flavor and texture.
- Customize with chocolate shavings or toasted nuts on top for added texture and decoration.
- Whipped cream can be substituted with stabilized whipped cream for longer hold.
