Here is a Black Forest Trifle that I designed. 
Ingredients:
For Chocolate Cake:
1 15.25 box of Duncan Hines
chocolate cake mix
1 3.9 ounces box of instant
chocolate pudding
1 16 ounces container of sour
cream
3 eggs
1/3 cup of water
2 cups of semi
sweet chocolate
chips
For Bavarian Cream:
1 2 cups of heavy whipping
cream
1 1/2 tsp. of vanilla extract
3 egg yolks
1/4 cup of sugar
5 tbs. of sugar
3/4 tsp of gelatin
For Dark Cherries:
1 bottle of 24.7 ounces of Trader
Joe’s Dark Morello Cherries
1/3 cup of sugar
2 tbs. cornstarch
1/4 tsp. almond extract
1 tsp. lemon juice
1 tsp. of butter
Additional:
2 15 oz cans of Bartlett pears
halves
2 cups of heavy whipping cream.
Slivered almonds
Directions:
To Make Chocolate Cake:
1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and grease 10” bundt pan with butter
and lightly dust with flour.
2.Mix the Sour Cream, eggs, and water in a blender. Add the
chocolate pudding and cake mix. Mix until smooth. Stir in chocolate
chips and put the mix in the bundt pan.
3.Bake for 55 60 minutes. Allow cooling.
To Make Bavarian Cream:
1.Whip 1 cup of heavy whipping cream into peaks then refrigerate.
2.In another bowl, mix cold water and gelatin; set it aside.
3.In a pan, add 1 cup of heavy whipping cream and the vanilla and
heat to the boiling point (scald).
4.In another bowl, mix the egg yolks in with the sugar. Once the
cream on the stove has scalded, turn off the heat and add the egg
yolks and sugar mix to it. Mix it together. Heat until it becomes thick.
Then put it in with the gelatin/water mixture and refrigerate until it
is completely cool.
5.Once chilled, fold the other whipping cream into it and then
refrigerate it until you need it.
To Make Dark Cherries:
1. Separate the juice from the cherries. Add the juice, sugar,
cornstarch, and salt to a pan. Boil them to thicken until translucent,
then remove from heat. Mix in the cherries, almond extract, lemon
juice, and butter. Then refrigerate.
To Assemble Trifle:
1.Tear up the cake into pieces. Fill the bottom of the trifle bowl with
them. Put a layer of cherries on top. Add a layer of Bavarian Cream.
Add a layer of pears.
2.Whip the whipping cream and sweeten by slowly adding a little
sugar until it is to your liking. Add the whipping cream to the top.
Sprinkle a few slivered almonds to the top for decoration.
