Ingredients
Scale
Cake
- 1 9×13 chocolate sheet cake
Toppings
- 3 cups whipped cream (such as Cool Whip)
- 12 monster eye sprinkles
Instructions
- Bake the cake: Prepare and bake a chocolate sheet cake in a 9×13 pan according to your favorite chocolate cake recipe or use a boxed mix for convenience. Allow it to cool completely before assembling.
- Slice the cake: Once cooled, cut the chocolate sheet cake into small squares suitable for layering in mini trifle containers.
- Layer the trifles: Place a layer of chocolate cake pieces at the bottom of each mini trifle container, followed by a generous layer of whipped cream.
- Add second layer: Add another layer of chocolate cake over the whipped cream, then top with a fluffy dollop of whipped cream to finish the trifle.
- Decorate with eyes: Place two monster eye sprinkles on top of the whipped cream layer on each trifle to create a playful ghostly appearance.
Notes
- Use a boxed chocolate cake mix to save time and simplify the recipe.
- Chill the cake completely before slicing to ensure clean cuts and easier layering.
- For extra flavor, add a drizzle of chocolate syrup or a spoonful of pudding between layers.
- Substitute the Cool Whip with homemade whipped cream if preferred for a fresher taste.
- Mini trifle containers or clear cups work best to showcase the layered effect.
