  • 2 cups chocolate pudding Can use instant mix or homemade.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven and bake the chocolate cake according to package instructions. Allow it to cool completely on a wire rack.
  2. Once cooled, crumble the cake into bite-sized pieces using your hands or a fork.
  3. In a large bowl, prepare the chocolate pudding as per the package instructions or make it from scratch, ensuring it cools to room temperature afterward.
Layering
  1. Spread half of the crumbled cake evenly across the bottom of a trifle dish, pressing lightly to form a solid base.
  2. Spoon half of the chocolate pudding over this cake layer, smoothing it out gently with a spatula.
  3. Sprinkle half of the toffee bits evenly over the pudding layer.
  4. Fold the whipped topping into the remaining pudding until just combined, then spread half of this mixture over the toffee bits.
  5. Repeat the layers with the remaining crumbled cake, pudding, and toffee, finishing with a layer of the remaining whipped topping on top.
  6. Garnish with chocolate shavings or a light dusting of cocoa powder.
  7. Refrigerate for at least one hour to let all the layers set beautifully before serving.
