Ingredients:

Serving

1 devil's food cake mix (18.25 oz box)
2 (15 oz) cans dark bing cherries , pitted in heavy juice
fresh orange juice , as needed
1 1/2 cups sugar, divided
3 tbsp cornstarch
3 tbsp water
2 tbsp chambord raspberry liquor or 2 tbsp kirsch
4 1/4 oz chocolate mousse mix ( commercially prepared)
1 cup milk
3 cups heavy whipping cream
3/4 tsp vanilla extract , pure
1 oz chocolate shavings (optional)

Directions:

Bake cake according to package instructions. Cool. Cut 6 by 8 into 11/2” squares.
Drain cherries and reserve juice. Add enough orange juice to cherry juice to equal 1 3/4 cups.
Heat juice and 1 cup of sugar to a light boil. Reserve remaining 1/2 cup of sugar for whipped cream.
Blend cornstarch with water. Add to boiling juice. Blend with a wire whip to thicken.
Add cherries and cook for 5 minutes. Cool to room temperature and add Chambord. Chill to 40°F or less.
Whip mousse mix with cold milk and refrigerate to thicken slightly. Mix well with wire whip.
Whip heavy cream on medium speed. Add remaining 1/2 cup of sugar and vanilla extract and whip until cream forms soft peaks.
Assemble in an 8” round, 5” deep glass trifle bowl.
Line the bottom of the bowl with 1 layer of chocolate cake cubes. Fit cake cubes tightly against sides of bowl. (This should take approximately half of the cake.)
Spread a layer of the cherries and sauce over the cake cubes, making sure they're visible against the side of the bowl. Then add a layer of mousse. Repeat the layers of cake, cherries, and mouse. Reserve 5 to 9 cherries for garnish.
Spread a layer of whipped cream over the top and garnish with the remaining cherries, along with chocolate shavings (if desired).
