You can also go the extra mile and bake my best homemade <a href=\"https:\/\/thenovicechefblog.com\/best-chocolate-cake-recipe\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"follow\">chocolate cake recipe<\/a> in a 9&#215;13 baking dish.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Milk:<\/strong> Whole milk is best because of the fat content. It makes for a richer, moister chocolate cake. You&#8217;ll also need it for the pudding. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chocolate Pudding Mix:<\/strong> Make sure you grab a box of the *instant* chocolate pudding mix, not the cook and serve version. I use the regular chocolate flavor, but chocolate fudge would also be tasty!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cherry Pie Filling:<\/strong> While you can make your own from scratch, I always just grab a can from the store. It&#8217;s so easy and still always gets me a ton of compliments.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Frozen Whipped Topping: <\/strong>I use a container of Cool Whip (thawed before using!) to easily get the job done. However, you can always whip up some homemade whipped cream instead. If using homemade whipped cream, keep in mind that it will start to weep and break down much quicker\u2014so add it to the cake right before serving.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chocolate:<\/strong> Chocolate shavings or mini chocolate chips both make great toppings, but are completely optional. You can also add fresh cherries like I did for a pop of color!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" data-pin-description=\"With layers of moist chocolate cake, cherry pie filling, silky chocolate pudding, and whipped cream\u2014this easy Black Forest Cake has it all!

This gives the pudding plenty of time to soak into the cake and make it extra soft and moist.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Make It Extra Chocolatey:<\/strong> Stir some chocolate chips into the cake batter for an added chocolate boost. You can also drizzle <a href=\"https:\/\/thenovicechefblog.com\/chocolate-sauce\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"follow\">chocolate sauce<\/a> on top right before serving.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Make it Boozy:<\/strong> If you want an adult twist and to make this cake more like a traditional Black Forest Cake, brush the cake with Kirsch (cherry liqueur) before adding the pudding.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Make Ahead:<\/strong> The longer this black forest poke cake sits in the fridge, the better it tastes as the flavors meld together. You can prepare it up to 48 hours in advance and it will still be perfect for whenever you&#8217;re ready to serve it!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div id=\"recipe\"><\/div><div id=\"wprm-recipe-container-155597\" class=\"wprm-recipe-container\" data-recipe-id=\"155597\" data-servings=\"12\"><div class=\"wprm-recipe wprm-recipe-template-tnc-recipe-save-this\"><script type=\"text\/javascript\" async=\"async\" data-noptimize=\"1\" data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"\/\/scripts.mediavine.com\/tags\/the-novice-chef.js\"><\/script>\n<div class=\"wprm-container-float-right\">\n\t<div class=\"wprm-recipe-image wprm-block-image-normal\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-width: 0px;border-style: solid;border-color: #666666;\" data-pin-nopin=\"true\" width=\"560\" height=\"560\" src=\"https:\/\/thenovicechefblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Easy-Black-Forest-Cake-Recipe-560x560.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail2x size-thumbnail2x\" alt=\"A close-up of a slice of easy Black Forest cake on a spatula.
