1. Crumble each slice of chocolate cake into small, bite-sized pieces and set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, whip together mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, and powdered sugar using a hand mixer until thick and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
3. Take two serving glasses (or small dessert bowls) and begin by adding a layer of crumbled chocolate cake to the bottom of each glass.
4. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of brewed espresso over the cake layer in each glass to lightly soak the cake.
5. Spoon a layer of the whipped mascarpone mixture over the cake and espresso layer.
6. Repeat the layering process (cake, espresso, mascarpone) until the glasses are filled, finishing with a top layer of mascarpone.
7. Dust the top of each trifle with cocoa powder using a fine sieve.
8. Optionally, sprinkle dark chocolate shavings on top for an extra touch of decadence.
9. Refrigerate the trifles for at least 15 minutes to chill before serving.
10. Serve chilled and enjoy this delightful Mochaccino Trifle for two!
