How to Make Sinful Chocolate Cake

  1. Prepare your favorite chocolate cake recipe (or use a boxed mix) and bake according to package directions. Let cool completely.
  2. Spread one (15 ounce) can of cherry pie filling evenly over the cooled cake.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine 8 ounces of softened cream cheese with 1/2 cup (4 ounces) of milk. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
  4. Add the remaining 1/2 cup (4 ounces) of milk and one (3.4 ounce) box of instant vanilla pudding mix. Beat until well combined and thickened.
  5. Pour the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cherry pie filling layer.
  6. Garnish with maraschino cherries and 1/2 cup of chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans recommended).
  7. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the frosting to set completely before serving.
