Author Karen @ The Tasty Bite

Ingredients

  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 1 cup hot water
  • 9 oz So Delicious® Coco Whip thawed
  • 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 1/2 cup chocolate syrup
  • 1/2 cup peppermint candy crushed

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F. Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or an 8-inch square pan.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Add oil, vanilla, and water. Mix until ingredients are just combined.
  • Pour batter in pan.
  • Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Let cake cool completely on a rack. Cut cake into 1-inch cubes.
  • Meanwhile, combine Cocowhip™ in a bowl with peppermint extract.
  • To assemble the trifle, arrange half of the cake cubes in a single layer in a large trifle bowl or individual cups. Drizzle half of the chocolate syrup over the cake layer and cover with a layer of peppermint whipped cream. Sprinkle with some crushed peppermint candy over the whipped cream. Repeat with another layer of cake, then chocolate syrup, and end with a final layer of peppermint whipped cream and more crushed peppermint candy on top.
  • Refrigerate, covered, until ready to serve.
