This Chocolate Trifle is one seriously decadent dessert! It looks like you’ve spent a pile of time on it, but it’s one of the best easy desserts for a holiday party or family gathering.
We love all things chocolate, so this layered chocolate dessert is right up there with these Best Homemade Brownies, this Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies, and this Chocolate Sheet Cake.
It’s made with homemade chocolate cake cubes layered with chocolate pudding, whipped cream, and whatever chocolate candy bars or drizzles your heart desires.
Keep it classic or let your imagination run wild!
Ingredients Needed:
You can use cake mix or prepared cake in a pinch, but this cake recipe is divine!
Granulated Sugar: it makes our cake, cake!
Oil: use a neutral flavored oil like canola oil to add moisture to the cake.
Milk: whatever you have on hand will work, dairy or non-dairy.
Eggs: binds the ingredients together so the cake can hold its shape.
Vanilla: adds flavor depth and sweetness.
All-Purpose Flour: fluffed and leveled so you don’t end up with too much flour.
Cocoa Powder: use high-quality, unsweetened cocoa powder for the richest chocolate flavor.
Salt: cuts the sweetness and enhances flavor.
Baking Soda and Baking Powder: we’re using both leavening agents to keep the cake texture so light and fluffy.
Hot Coffee: or hot water. I recommend the coffee because it enhances the chocolate flavor of the cake, but water will work just fine.
Trifle ingredients:
Chocolate Pudding: we’re making the pudding layer with instant chocolate pudding mix and milk.
Whipped Cream: we’re 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.
Optional Toppings: get creative! I love crushed Oreos, crushed heath or skor bars, maltesers or whoppers, and chocolate sauce or chocolate shavings.
