# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and flour two 9-inch round pans.
02 -
In a large bowl, stir together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
03 -
Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla; beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. Stir in boiling water; batter will be thin.
04 -
Pour batter into prepared pans and bake for 30-35 minutes. Use a toothpick to check for doneness—it should come out clean. Cool cakes in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
05 -
Once cooled, slice each cake layer horizontally to create four thin layers.
06 -
In a medium bowl, beat heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
07 -
Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread 1/2 cup cherry pie filling on top. Repeat with the remaining layers, stacking each on top of the last.
08 -
Frost the top and sides of the cake with whipped cream. Garnish with chocolate chips and additional cherries if desired.
