Instructions
Bake cake and cool to room temperature. Cut into small cubes.
Cook and cool pudding to room temp, or chill.
Combine cream, powdered sugar and vanilla. Whisk until stiff peaks form.
Spread a layer of cake cubes in the bottom of your bowl. Using an offset spatula, over the cake spread a ½ inch layer of pudding, then whipped cream.
Repeat layers in that order until you either run out of bowl or ingredients, ending with whipped cream on top.
Using a veggie peeler, shave the chocolate bar over the top of the trifle to decorate the top.
Either chill for an hour or so or serve immediately.
