How to Make Black Forest Cake Mix

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 10-inch bundt pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, oil, and water according to the cake mix box instructions.
  3. Gently fold in the chocolate pudding mix, sour cream, and vanilla extract until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  5. Let the cake cool in the pan for 25 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  6. Once completely cool, frost with your favorite chocolate frosting and garnish with fresh cherries and chocolate shavings for an authentic Black Forest touch.
