Ingredients
Scale
Cake
- 1 box Devil’s Food cake mix (prepared according to box instructions)
Layers
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 16 oz whipped cream (store-bought or homemade)
- 22 oz caramel syrup
- 8 oz Heath English Toffee Bits
- 1 King-Sized Heath bar (for crushing and topping)
Instructions
- Prepare the Cake: Follow the Devil’s Food cake mix box instructions to prepare and bake the cake until moist and fully cooked. Typically, this involves mixing the cake mix with eggs, water, and oil, then baking in a preheated oven.
- Cut the Cake into Squares: Allow the cake to cool slightly until warm but not hot. Cut the cake into small bite-sized squares to allow for better layering and absorption of sweetened condensed milk.
- Add Sweetened Condensed Milk: Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the warm cake squares. Let the milk soak into the cake for a few minutes to create a moist, creamy base for the trifle.
- First Layer in the Trifle Bowl: Place one-third of the soaked cake evenly at the bottom of the trifle bowl, creating an even foundation layer.
- Add the Whipped Cream, Caramel, and Toffee: Spread one-third of the whipped cream over the cake layer, drizzle one-third of the caramel syrup evenly on top, and sprinkle a generous amount of Heath English Toffee Bits over the caramel.
- Repeat the Layers: Repeat the layering process two more times, each with cake, whipped cream, caramel syrup, and toffee bits to build up three luscious layers.
- Top with Crushed Heath Bars: Crush the King-Sized Heath bar into small pieces and sprinkle evenly over the final whipped cream and toffee layer for a crunchy, flavorful finish.
- Refrigerate: Chill the assembled trifle in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving to allow flavors to meld and the dessert to set.
Notes
- Cutting the cake while still warm helps the sweetened condensed milk soak better.
- Use either homemade or store-bought whipped cream depending on preference.
- For best texture, assemble trifle just before serving but refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- Variations can include adding nuts or different toffee candies for extra crunch.
