How to Make Death By Chocolate With Bananas Trifle

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9x13 inch chocolate cake from a box mix according to package directions, or use your favorite recipe.
  2. Once baked, let the cake cool slightly in the pan. Then, poke holes all over the cake using a toothpick or skewer.
  3. Drizzle 1/4 cup Chambord liqueur (or Kahlúa) evenly over the warm cake.
  4. Let the cake cool completely.
  5. While the cake cools, prepare your pudding according to package directions (or make your own!).
  6. Crumble the cooled cake into bite-sized pieces.
  7. In a large trifle bowl or serving dish, layer the ingredients as follows: 1/3 of the cake, 1/2 of the pudding, 1 cup raspberries, 1 cup strawberries, 1/3 of the whipped topping.
  8. Repeat layers: 1/3 of the cake, remaining pudding, remaining raspberries and strawberries, remaining whipped topping.
  9. Top with 1/2 cup chopped candy bars (e.g., chocolate, milk chocolate, etc.) and 2 tablespoons toasted coconut flakes.
  10. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow flavors to meld and the trifle to chill thoroughly.
