A 2-1/2- to 3-quart glass bowl or trifle bowl is the best choice for showing off all the layers of this festive dessert. Be sure to spread each layer to the edge of the bowl, so the contrasting colors of the dark cake and white whipped cream are clearly visible.
Make Ahead Tips
The cake can be baked and the kirsch syrup prepared up to one day ahead. Wrap the cake in plastic and keep it at room temperature. Cover the syrup and keep refrigerated. Once assembled, the trifle can be refrigerated for up to 6 hours.
Very yummy, can't go wrong with chocolate and whip cream. I would recommend 2 cans of cherries. One can just wasn't enough with all of the whip cream.
Fabulous dessert-but it really needs more than one can of cherries. I used most of two cans.
