The first step in making your chocolate trifle is making your chocolate cake. To do that, you’ll want to start by preheating your oven according to the cake mix directions.
-
You should also get a 13x9 glass baking dish and spray it with nonstick cooking spray.
-
Next, add the eggs, oil, buttermilk, and cake mix to a bowl and mix until the batter is well combined.
-
Pour the cake batter into the prepared 13x9 dish and bake in the preheated oven according to the cake mix directions.
-
When the cake is finished, let it cool completely and set it aside.
-
Next you should make your pudding. Add the pudding and milk to a medium-sized mixing bowl and whisk together until the mixture is completely smooth.
-
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the fridge until the pudding is set, about 2-3 hours.
-
While the cake is cool and the pudding is set, you can begin assembling your trifle. Start by cutting the cake into bite-sized pieces and setting them aside.
-
Next, grab your trifle container or containers and start layering the cake, pudding, and whipped topping.

Top the trifles with berries, chocolate chips, nuts, or whatever you like and your chocolate trifles are ready to serve!
