Mix together cake mix, cinnamon, plus ingredients to make the cake. Prepare the cake according to the package directions. Bake in a greased and floured 9x13 pan.
Mix together sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, half and half, and cocoa powder. Poke holes in the cake and slowly pour the milk mixture over the hot cake. Cool completely. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
When ready to serve, whip together heavy cream, powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Whip at high speed for 1-2 minutes. Spread over the cake and top each slice with a cherry.
Notes:
Can substitute chocolate milk for half-and-half and unsweetened cocoa powder.
Can use heavy cream or whole milk for half-and-half.
Use a long-tined fork, wooden spoon handle, or chopsticks to poke holes in the cake.
When making the fresh whipped cream, I chill my mixing bowl in the freezer for 5-10 minutes before adding the cream and sugar.
Can substitute a tub of cool whip whipped topping for fresh whipped cream.
Leftover cake will keep up to 4 days covered in the refrigerator.
