Chocolate Trifle Cake Recipe

In the appetizing chocolate trifle cake, a thin layer of sponge cake is soaked in sugar syrup topped with whipped cream. These ingredients are usually arranged to produce three or four layers. While mixing butter and sugar in the bowl, make sure not to over whip the mixture. An interesting way to assemble this cake is by deconstructing it-crumbling it and arranging it in a fancy glass bowl. A small amount of milk can be added while checking the consistency of the batter, to make it smoother. Pre-heat the oven to the correct temperature. While baking, check for completion by inserting a toothpick in the core. It should come out clean. While preparing the soaking syrup, care must be taken to not char the sugar and water mixture, it could get burnt and become sticky.

For the frosting, chocolate should be melted properly with cream in the pan. Once cream and chocolate mixes properly, and then the mixture should be chilled for 1 -2 hours. Then beating is done till the mixture becomes fluffy. Here, it should be taken care that if mixture is not properly chilled then beating process may take longer time. This vibrant chocolate trifle cake is a huge crowd-pleaser and never fails to impress.
