Prepare the Cake:
Start by baking your favorite cake according to the package instructions in a 9×13″ pan. Once baked, allow the cake to cool completely. -
Crumble the Cake:
Using your hands, crumble the cooled cake into bite-sized pieces directly into a large bowl. The irregular pieces will add delightful texture to your dessert. -
Infuse with Liqueur:
Embrace the decadence by drizzling your chosen liqueur over the crumbled cake. Cover the bowl and let the flavors meld together overnight, allowing the cake to absorb the rich essence. -
Prepare the Pudding:
The next day, prepare the instant chocolate pudding according to the package instructions. Once the pudding is ready, gently fold in the whipped topping until well combined. The airy texture of the topping will add a lightness to the richness of the dessert. -
Layer the Dessert:
Assemble your masterpiece! In a large trifle dish or glass bowl, layer half of the soaked cake pieces at the bottom. Follow with a generous layer of the chocolate pudding mixture, spreading it evenly over the cake. Then, sprinkle half of the crushed candy bars on top, adding a delightful crunch to each spoonful. -
Repeat and Revel:
Repeat the layering process with the remaining ingredients, ending with a final flourish of candy crumbs on top. This symphony of flavors and textures will leave your taste buds tingling with anticipation. -
Chill and Serve:
Before serving, chill the assembled dessert to allow the flavors to meld together beautifully. The chilling time will also help set the layers, ensuring each spoonful is a harmonious blend of indulgence.
