Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare the chocolate cake mix according to the package instructions, using water, vegetable oil, and eggs.
Bake the cake in a greased 9x13-inch baking pan for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let it cool completely.
While the cake is cooling, prepare the mocha pudding by combining the instant chocolate pudding mix, cooled coffee, and milk in a large bowl. Whisk until smooth and thickened, then refrigerate for 10 minutes.
Cut the cooled chocolate cake into small, bite-sized cubes.
In a large trifle dish or glass bowl, begin assembling the trifle. Start with a layer of chocolate cake cubes to cover the base.
Add a layer of mocha pudding over the cake cubes, smoothing it out with a spatula.
Next, add a layer of Cool Whip, spreading it evenly.
Drizzle some chocolate syrup over the Cool Whip layer.
Repeat the layers (cake, pudding, Cool Whip, chocolate syrup) until the trifle dish is full, finishing with a final layer of Cool Whip.
Optional: Use a vegetable peeler to shave curls of chocolate from the chocolate bar for garnish. Sprinkle the curls over the top of the trifle.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve chilled.
