Black Forest TrifleI made this Black Forest Trifle for our family’s Christmas Eve dessert. A few years ago I made another trifle, but our mom said it wasn’t boozy enough. So this time, I used a LOT of rum! This recipe needs a round of day-old chocolate cake, either one from a mix, a one-bowl chocolate cake, or a six-minute chocolate cake. Day-old cake is best, as it is a bit dried out and will then absorb more rum!
