Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
-
Add the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix on medium speed until well combined.
-
Gradually stir in the hot water until the batter is smooth. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
-
Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Meanwhile, prepare the cream cheese filling. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the sugar and vanilla extract, and mix until combined.
-
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth and well blended.
-
To assemble the cake, place one chocolate cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese filling over the cake.
-
Place the second cake layer on top and spread the remaining cream cheese filling over the top and sides of the cake.
-
Spoon the cherry pie filling over the top of the cake, spreading it evenly.
-
Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
