You can use cake mix or prepared cake in a pinch, but this cake recipe is divine!<\/p>\n

Granulated Sugar: it makes our cake, cake!
\nOil: use a neutral flavored oil like canola oil to add moisture to the cake.
\nMilk: whatever you have on hand will work, dairy or non-dairy.
\nEggs: binds the ingredients together so the cake can hold its shape.
\nVanilla: adds flavor depth and sweetness.
\nAll-Purpose Flour: fluffed and leveled so you don\u2019t end up with too much flour.
\nCocoa Powder: use high-quality, unsweetened cocoa powder for the richest chocolate flavor.
\nSalt: cuts the sweetness and enhances flavor.
\nBaking Soda and Baking Powder: we\u2019re using both leavening agents to keep the cake texture so light and fluffy.
\nHot Coffee: or hot water. I recommend the coffee because it enhances the chocolate flavor of the cake, but water will work just fine.
\nTrifle ingredients:
\nChocolate Pudding: we\u2019re making the pudding layer with instant chocolate pudding mix and milk.
\nWhipped Cream: we\u2019re throwing together a homemade whip made up of heavy whipping cream, powdered icing sugar, and vanilla extract. Feel free to use Cool Whip if preferred.
\nOptional Toppings: get creative! I love crushed Oreos, crushed heath or skor bars, maltesers or whoppers, and chocolate sauce or chocolate shavings.<\/p>\n

Chocolate Trifle FAQs
\nWhat is Chocolate Trifle made of?
\nChocolate Trifle is a layered dessert made up of cake cubes, pudding, whipped cream, and optional toppings such as crushed cookies or candy bars.<\/p>\n

Should a trifle be made the night before?
\nOnce the trifle is fully assembled, I recommend serving it right away because of the whipped cream. It will last a few days but the cream may start to deflate slightly as time passes.
\nI do suggest you make the cake a day in advance! This way so the cake can cool completely before assembling.<\/p>\n

How to store:
\nA finished trifle will last covered in the fridge for up to 3 days. I recommend adding the whipped cream just before serving to preserve its texture. If you use cool whip, it will last a little bit longer.<\/p>\n

Tips and Notes<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Grease and flour the pan. Lightly grease the pan, then coat it in flour, tapping out any extra. This makes it much easier to remove the cake.
\nDon\u2019t over-measure the flour. I recommend fluffing the flour up, then leveling it off gently with your finger. This helps prevent it from getting too packed in. Too much flour makes for dry cake.
\nThe batter will be thin. Don\u2019t panic. That\u2019s how it\u2019s supposed to look!
\nCheck for doneness. Use a toothpick to check that the cake is done. Just insert it into the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is good to go.
\nCool the cake completely. If you try to cut it into cubes while it\u2019s still hot, you\u2019ll just end up with mush.<\/p>\n

Lightly grease and flour one 9\u00d713\u2033 pan, tapping firmly to remove any excess flour once coated. Set the oven to 350 degrees F.
\nIn a large bowl, whisk together sugar and oil until combined.
\nAdd milk, eggs and vanilla and whisk until smooth.
\nAdd flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt and baking powder and whisk until combined.
\nSlowly stir in hot coffee until batter is smooth \u2014 it will be thin.
\nPour into prepared pan and bake for 20-22 minutes, until a toothpick in the center comes out dry or with moist crumbs. Set aside to cool completely before proceeding with the recipe (I prefer to do this the day before).
\nOnce cool, cut into 1\u2033 cubes.
\nChocolate pudding
\nIn a medium bowl, whisk together pudding mix and milk until completely smooth.
\nWhipped cream
\nIn a medium bowl, whip the cream, sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
\nAssembly
\nPlace half of the cake cubes in the bottom of a trifle bowl or large glass bowl. Top with half of the pudding and half of the whipped cream. Add desired optional toppings.
\nRepeat, using remaining ingredients in the same order. Top and garnish as desired.
\nRefrigerate until ready to serve. This trifle is best served the day it is made because of the fresh whipped cream. If you use cool whip, it will last a little longer.<\/p>\n
