Notes
This cake is best served chilled. You can add a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side for extra sweetness. Ensure the cake has completely cooled before poking holes to prevent it from falling apart. Use a fork or a wooden skewer to make the holes, allowing the cherry filling to soak in nicely. Experiment with different types of chocolate chips or pie fillings.
