FRUITY CHOCOLATE CAKE TRIFLE

Fruity Chocolate Cake Trifle image

Delicious trifle with layers of fresh fruit, pudding, whipped cream, and cake. This desert is quite pretty when served in a clear glass trifle bowl. I like to make it with chocolate cake, vanilla pudding, strawberries, kiwis, and blackberries, but you can use any kind of fruit, cake, and pudding combination you'd like.
