How to Make Banana Chocolate Trifle
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare your favorite chocolate cake mix according to package directions, using two 9-inch round baking pans.
- Bake cakes for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cakes cool completely in pans for 10 minutes before inverting onto wire racks to cool completely.
- While cakes are cooling, prepare your chocolate pudding according to package directions.
- Peel and thinly slice 3 ripe bananas into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
- Once cakes are completely cool, slice each cake layer horizontally in half to create 4 cake layers.
- In a large trifle bowl or serving dish, layer one cake layer.
- Spread 1/3 of the prepared chocolate pudding evenly over the cake layer.
- Arrange a layer of banana slices over the pudding.
- Top with 1/4 of the cool whip (8 ounces).
- Repeat layers: cake, pudding, bananas, and cool whip, until all ingredients are used.
- Top with the remaining cake layer and remaining cool whip.
- Sprinkle with grated chocolate (optional) and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
