Some desserts are tough to top. Put this black forest trifle up against any other flavor combination and this is guaranteed to win every time. A traditional black forest cake has the components of a dark chocolate cake plus whipped cream and cherries. In this trifle we’ve got all that, plus a little extra something. The combination of the classic mocha chocolate paired with the cooling cherry flavor and slight crunch of the Oreo mixes for the perfect bite. The rich espresso flavor gives it an unfamiliar zing that keeps your mouth begging for more.
2 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, such as Glicks
2 cups sugar
1 and 1/2 cups unsweetened cocoa powder, such as Gefen
1 cup whole milk
2/3 cup oil, such as Gefen Canola Oil
3 large eggs
2 tablespoons instant espresso powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 and 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 cup strong brewed coffee
1 can whipped cream
1 can Gefen Cherry Pie Filling
crushed Oreo-style cookies
melted milk chocolate
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Mix flour, sugar, cocoa powder, milk, oil, eggs, espresso powder, baking soda, vanilla, baking powder, and salt until smooth. Add brewed coffee and mix to combine. Pour batter into a large sheet pan and bake for 25 to 30 minutes.
While cake is baking, combine whipped cream with instant chocolate pudding until fully incorporated.
To assemble, use a glass to cut out a circle of cake. Transfer cake into a serving glass, then top with whipped cream and cherry pie filling. Top with more cake, whipped cream, and pie filling, then finish with crushed Oreos and a drizzle of chocolate.

And the instructions imply that there are 2 layers, but the photo shows only one. This is too confusing
Correct, the picture is only one layer. I think it really depends on the size of your cup and you can do either one or two layers.
How much is a can. In Australia it might not be the same as in the US, or maybe other countries don’t have cans at all. And what if they downsize the can, what shall we do then. Better to give the actual size.
The Cherry pie filling is a 21 oz can
so easy and so good!!!! our favourite Shabbos dessert! I use a dunkin Hines chocolate cake mix as a hack. super simple:)
