  1. Bake your chocolate cake according to instructions and allow it to cool completely before cutting into cubes.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form.
  3. In a trifle dish, layer chocolate cake cubes, a dollop of whipped cream, and a layer of cherries. Repeat until you reach the top, finishing with whipped cream and cherries.
