Bake the Cake:
- Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the cake mix box.
- Prepare the chocolate cake mix as per the directions on the package.
- Bake the cake in a suitable pan according to the recommended baking time and temperature.
- Once baked, allow the cake to cool completely.

-
Prepare the Mousse and Whipped Cream:
- In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form.
- Gradually pour in the Kahlua liqueur while continuing to whip the cream until stiff peaks form.
- Set aside the whipped cream.
-
Assemble the Trifle:
- Crumble 1/3 of the cooled chocolate cake into the bottom of a trifle bowl, creating an even layer.
- Spoon a layer of the prepared mousse over the crumbled cake, spreading it evenly.
- Top the mousse layer with a generous layer of the prepared whipped cream, smoothing it out with a spatula.
-
Repeat the Layers:
- Repeat the layering process with another 1/3 of the crumbled cake, followed by the mousse and whipped cream layers.
- Ensure each layer is evenly distributed and covers the previous layer completely.
-
Top with Crushed Skor Bar:
- Sprinkle the crushed Skor Bar over the final layer of whipped cream, adding a delightful crunch and caramel flavor to the trifle.
-
Chill and Serve:
- Refrigerate the assembled trifle for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld together and the dessert to set.
- Alternatively, serve the trifle immediately for instant gratification.
Tips:
- For a non-alcoholic version, substitute the Kahlua liqueur with chocolate syrup or espresso for a rich flavor.
- Experiment with different types of cake mixes such as chocolate fudge or devil’s food for a variety of flavor options.
- Garnish the trifle with chocolate shavings, fresh berries, or mint leaves for an elegant presentation.
- Ensure the cake has cooled completely before assembling the trifle to prevent the whipped cream from melting.
- Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, though it’s unlikely there will be any leftovers!
