Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan. In a large bowl, combine the 1 box chocolate cake mix, 3 eggs, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, and 1 cup water. Beat until smooth, about 2 minutes.
Step 2
Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
Step 3
In a chilled bowl, whip the 1 cup heavy cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes. Spread the whipped cream over the cooled cake.
Step 4
Top with the 1 cup cherries. Optionally, add chocolate shavings or a drizzle of chocolate syrup if you have them. Serve immediately or chill until ready to serve.
