Ingredients

Instructions

  • Bake the cake in a 9x13 pan according to package directions and allow it to cool completely.
  • Once the cake is cool, use the handle of a wooden spoon or the wide end of a chopstick to poke holes all over the cake.
  • Heat the chocolate fudge in a microwave-safe dish or in a small saucepan on low heat, just until the sauce is warm and pourable.
  • Pour the sauce over the cake paying special attention to fill the holes.
  • Spread the cherry pie filling over the top of the cake.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the vanilla pudding mix and milk just until it begins to thicken. Then fold in the whipped topping.
  • Spread the topping evenly over the top of the cake.
  • Decorate with chocolate shavings or sprinkles and allow to rest in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the filling and topping to set.
