So I was just sitting here trying to think of a special meal and dessert for my guys for Valentine's Day. I was searching and nothing was grabbing my attention. But then I inspired myself and came up with this. It's basically a black forest cake but jazzed up a bit with the cream cheese. Read more . I was going to go with a white cake but you HAVE to have chocolate for Valentine's Day. Ingredients:
1 pkg. chocolate cake mix, 2 layer size |
1 3 oz pkg. cherry jello |
3/4 cup boiling water |
1/2 cup cold water |
1 can cherry pie filling |
1 8 oz pkg. cream cheese, softened |
1 cup icing sugar |
1 large tub of cool whip |
2/3 cup chocolate chips |
2 tsp. oil |
Directions:
1. Make the cake mix according to package directions and bake it in a 9x13 pan.
2. As soon as you get the cake in the oven, add the boiling water to the Jello stirring to dissolve. Stir in the cold water and set aside at room temperature.
3. Remove cake from oven and place on rack for 20 minutes.
4. Poke deep holes in top of cake about 1 apart using the end of a wooden spoon.
5. Slowly pour Jello evenly over cake.
