So I made a yummy chocolate cake…which completely stuck to the bottom of the cake pan. So this is the post where I turned a great cake fail into an easy chocolate trifle (and bonus: it was a kid activity because they helped me with the layers!).

Trifle is always fabulous, and you just made it so easy. Great easy recipe.
I am all about “easy”! and this tasted so great…
what a fantastic idea on how to ‘save’ the broken-up cake, make a trifle out of it, brilliant.
My cake was “made-from-scratch” too so there was no way I was just going to trash it…
I love how easy this is yet people would think it took forever to make!
It took minutes to make. And it was delish.
Great kid activity too! 10 year old pretty much took over the layering.
This looks amazing!
I was impressed by how it turned out – not bad for a do-as-you-go project. 😉
delicious!
It was so so good.

Desperation leads to recoveries…I had nothing else for dessert and we had company coming.

The cake fail gave me a heart attack – it was a great from-scratch recipe I had been dying to try – so glad we could switch it into something else.
