Instructions
- Bake the cake: Prepare and bake a chocolate sheet cake in a 9×13 inch pan according to your favorite recipe or boxed cake instructions. Allow the cake to cool completely.
- Slice the cake: Once cooled, cut the cake into small squares sized to fit into mini trifle cups or jars.
- Layer cake and whipped cream: In each mini trifle container, place a layer of chocolate cake pieces at the bottom.
- Add whipped cream layer: Spoon a generous layer of whipped cream over the cake.
- Repeat layers: Add another layer of chocolate cake pieces followed by another layer of whipped cream.
- Top with whipped cream: Finish each trifle with a fluffy dollop of whipped cream on top.

Notes
- Use a boxed chocolate cake mix to save time if desired.
- For a homemade whipped cream, beat heavy cream with a little sugar until stiff peaks form.
- Mini trifle cups or small clear jars work best to showcase the layers.
- Monster eye sprinkles can be found online or in specialty baking stores around Halloween.
- Assemble trifles shortly before serving to keep the whipped cream fresh and fluffy.
