Ingredients
Scale
Cake
- 1 box Devil’s Food cake mix
- Ingredients as per cake mix instructions (typically eggs, water, oil)
Syrup and Toppings
- 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 instructions on the Devil’s Food cake mix box, usually combining the mix with eggs, water, and oil, and baking at the recommended temperature until the cake is done. Ensure the cake is moist and rich.
- Cut the Cake into Squares: Allow the cake to cool slightly until warm but not hot. Cut into small, bite-sized squares to allow the sweetened condensed milk to soak in evenly.
- Add Sweetened Condensed Milk: Pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the warm cake pieces so they soak up the milk thoroughly, creating a creamy, moist base. Let it sit for a few minutes.
- First Layer in the Trifle Bowl: Spread one-third of the soaked cake pieces evenly at the bottom of a trifle bowl, forming the base layer.
- Add Whipped Cream, Caramel, and Toffee: Spread one-third of the whipped cream evenly over the cake layer, drizzle one-third of the caramel syrup on top, then sprinkle a generous amount of Heath English Toffee Bits.
- Repeat the Layers: Repeat the layering process two more times with the remaining cake, whipped cream, caramel syrup, and toffee bits until all ingredients are used.
- Top with Crushed Heath Bars: Crush the King-Sized Heath bar into small pieces and sprinkle evenly over the top layer to add extra crunch and flavor.
- Refrigerate: Cover the trifle bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld and layers to set before serving.
Notes
- Use freshly whipped cream for a lighter texture or store-bought whipped cream for convenience.
- Let the cake cool just enough to handle so the condensed milk absorbs properly.
- For extra flavor, drizzle some caramel syrup between layers as well.
- Refrigerate the trifle for longer than 2 hours for enhanced flavor melding.
- Substitute Heath bits with another toffee or chocolate bits if unavailable.
