Easy Black Forest Cake With Cake Mix
This Easy Black Forest Cake is exactly what the title says it is. It is so simple to make, and full of amazing flavor. It only takes a few minutes to throw together and is so yummy.
So, it was my birthday this past week and this Easy Black Forest Cake is what I usually request for my birthday. My mom has been making it for as long as I can remember and it seriously is so simple to make.
It makes two cakes using two 8 or 9 inch cake pans, and nobody is opposed to two birthday cakes, am I right?
My favorite layer of the cake is the fluffy cream cheese layer. It adds the perfect amount of tang and creamy texture that the cake needs.
If you have never tried black forest cake, you need to stop what you are doing and make it right now.

What could i use instead of cherry pie filling?
I am not usually a cherry pie filling kind of girl, but with this cake, I honestly can't get enough. It tastes so yummy. If you have never tried it with the cherry pie filling, I highly recommend you do. However, you could easily switch it up.
Here are a few other recommendations, I am sure you will love:
- Strawberry Pie Filling (I like to use the pie filling gel, then add my own fresh strawberries).
- Raspberry Pie Filling
- Blackberry Pie Filling (this one also tastes amazing with fresh blackberries)
- Blueberry Pie Filling
could i make this cake using a DIFFERENT cake mix?
I am all about chocolate, however, you could easily switch out the chocolate cake mix for a vanilla or white.
If you use a white or vanilla cake mix, it will be very similar to our Strawberries and Cream Cake recipe.
We highly recommend giving either flavor a try because chocolate and white cake, are both delicious with this recipe.

EASY Black Forest Cake Recipe
This Easy Black Forest Cake is exactly what the title says it is. It is so simple to make, and full of amazing flavor. It only takes a few minutes to throw together and is so yummy.
Chocolate cake:
- 1 Devil's Food cake mix (I used 15.25 ounces Betty Crocker cake mix)
- water, eggs, and oil called for in cake mix directions
Cream layer:
- 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 8 ounces Cool Whip Whipped Topping
Fruit Topping:
- Your favorite pie filling*
-
Spray 2 8" or 9" pans with non-stick cooking spray. Prepare cake mix with water, eggs and vegetable oil called for on cake mix directions. Split batter evenly between both pans and bake, following directions on back of cake mix box. Let cakes cool completely and remove from pans.
-
In a large bowl, mix together cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Fold in Cool Whip. Divide evenly and spread half of whipped cream mixture over each cake.
-
Top each cake with cherry pie filling. Refrigerate cakes until ready to serve.
*I just buy the biggest can of cherry pie filling that I can find and it will usually cover both cakes. I love it with cherry, but my husband and sisters love strawberries (hence the different toppings in the pictures!). Really, any kind of fruit filling would be excellent on here. When we use strawberries, we usually just buy fresh strawberries at the store and then by a box of "Danish Dessert" glaze and mix the strawberries in that . . . it's delicious.
