Description

A delightful dessert that combines chocolate cake, whipped topping, and cherry filling in mini sizes perfect for sharing or personal indulgence.


Ingredients

  • 1 box chocolate cake mix (13.25 ounces)
  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 ¼ cup water (or milk)
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 1 cup milk chocolate chips
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups whipped topping
  • 21 ounces cherry pie filling


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, water (or milk), and sour cream. Mix until fully blended.
  3. Stir in the milk chocolate chips for extra indulgence.
  4. Pour the batter into your prepared mini cake pans.
  5. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes

For best results, chill the whipped topping before frosting and drain the cherry pie filling to avoid soggy layers. Experiment with flavor variations by using different fruits or chocolate types.
