To make this scrumptious Black Forest Trifle, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 box chocolate cake mix
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup powdered sugar

These ingredients are readily available in most grocery stores, making it easy to grab what you need. I love how simple and accessible this recipe is for everyone!
Instructions
- Bake the chocolate cake according to package directions and let it cool.
- In a mixing bowl, whip together heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until soft peaks form.

Notes
