   • Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the cake mix box.
   • Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans. Line the bottom of each pan with waxed paper for easy removal later.

2. Prepare the Cake:

   • Follow the directions on the cake mix box to prepare the cake batter. This typically involves mixing the cake mix with water, oil, and eggs until smooth.

3. Bake the Cakes:

   • Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
   • Bake according to the package instructions. About five minutes before the cakes are done, prepare the jello mixture.

4. Prepare the Jello Mixture:

   • In a small saucepan, heat 2 cups of water to boiling.
   • Remove from heat and stir in the jello until completely dissolved.

5. Finish the Cakes:

   • Once the cakes are done, carefully invert them onto plates.
   • Remove the waxed paper from the top of each cake half.
   • Spoon the jello mixture evenly over each cake layer. This step adds a unique twist and enhances the cherry flavor!

6. Chill the Cakes:

   • Chill the cakes in the refrigerator for 6-8 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the flavors to meld together and creates a refreshing, chilled cake.

7. Prepare the Frosting:

   • In a mixing bowl, combine the milk, instant chocolate pudding mix, and Dream Whip topping mix.
   • Beat on high speed until the mixture reaches your desired frosting consistency. Adjust the amount of milk slightly if needed.

8. Assemble the Cake:

   • Frost a 1-inch circle around the diameter of the bottom cake layer.
   • Place half of the cherry pie filling inside this frosting circle.
   • Carefully place the top cake layer over the bottom layer.
   • Repeat the frosting process with another 1-inch circle on the top cake layer and frost the sides of the cake.

9. Final Touches:

   • Spread the remaining cherry pie filling in the center circle on top of the cake.
   • Refrigerate the cake until you are ready to serve. The chilled texture enhances the overall taste experience!

Serving:

• Slice and serve this Cherry Chocolate Cake chilled for the best taste. It’s ideal for parties or special occasions since you can prepare it the night before and keep it fresh in the refrigerator until you’re ready to enjoy it!
