📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the chocolate cake mix box (usually 350°F or 175°C). Prepare and bake the chocolate cake mix according to the package instructions, combining the cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and water.

2. Allow the cake to cool completely, then cut it into 1-inch cubes.

3. While the cake cools, prepare the instant chocolate pudding. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the pudding mix and milk until it thickens. Set aside.

4. In a large serving bowl (preferably a clear glass bowl or trifle dish for presentation), assemble the cake layers: Start with a layer of cake cubes at the bottom of the bowl.

5. Drizzle about 2 tablespoons of Kahlua evenly over the cake cubes.

6. Spread a layer of chocolate pudding over the cake cubes, followed by a layer of whipped topping. Sprinkle a handful of Heath or toffee bits and drizzle with chocolate syrup.

7. Repeat the layering process (cake cubes, Kahlua, pudding, whipped topping, Heath bits, and chocolate syrup) until all ingredients are used, finishing with a top layer of whipped topping garnished with Heath bits and a light drizzle of chocolate syrup.

8. Refrigerate the Kahlua Bowl Cake for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together.

9. Serve chilled with a spoon to scoop out the layers. Enjoy this rich, boozy treat!
