Prepare the chocolate cake according to package instructions or use a pre-made cake. Allow it to cool completely before cutting it into 1-inch cubes.
In a mixing bowl, prepare the chocolate pudding by whisking 2 packages of pudding mix with 4 cups of milk until smooth. Refrigerate for 5 minutes to allow it to set.
In another bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
To assemble the trifle, begin with a layer of chocolate cake cubes at the bottom of a large trifle bowl or glass dish.
Spread a layer of chocolate pudding over the cake cubes, covering them evenly.
Add a layer of fresh raspberries on top of the pudding.
Spread a layer of whipped cream over the raspberries, smoothing it out with a spatula.
Repeat the layers (cake, pudding, raspberries, whipped cream) until the dish is full, ending with whipped cream on top.
Garnish the top layer with fresh raspberries and dark chocolate shavings for a beautiful finish.
Refrigerate the trifle for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
