Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box Chocolate cake mix
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
- 1.25 cups Water
- 1.5 cups Caramel sauce
- 16 oz Whipped topping (such as Cool Whip), thawed
- 1 cup Toffee bits
- 1 cup Pecans, chopped
- 0.5 cup Chocolate sauce
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan.
Prepare the chocolate cake mix according to the package instructions, combining the mix with eggs, vegetable oil, and water. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
Bake the cake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely in the pan.
Once the cake has cooled, break it into small, bite-sized pieces and set aside.
In a large trifle bowl or clear glass dish, begin assembling the dessert. Start with an even layer of chocolate cake pieces, covering the bottom of the dish.
Drizzle about 1/3 cup of caramel sauce evenly over the cake pieces.
Spread 1/3 of the whipped topping over the caramel layer, smoothing it out with a spatula.
Sprinkle a handful of toffee bits and chopped pecans on top of the whipped topping layer.
Repeat these layers (cake, caramel sauce, whipped topping, toffee bits, and pecans) until all ingredients are used, ending with whipped topping on top.
Drizzle the top layer with chocolate sauce and sprinkle additional toffee bits and pecans for garnish.
Refrigerate the trifle for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled and enjoy this indulgent treat!
