Ingredients
Scale
- 1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 6 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp white vinegar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp red food coloring
- 2 boxes instant vanilla pudding mix (3.4 oz each)
- 3 cups eggnog
- 2 cups cold heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup rum (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with foil and spray it lightly with nonstick spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda, cocoa powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, mix buttermilk, vegetable oil, vinegar, and vanilla extract. Gradually add this to the dry mixture, stirring until just combined. Add red food coloring and mix well.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20-30 minutes. Check with a toothpick; it should come out clean. Let the cake cool completely.
- In a large bowl, whisk the vanilla pudding mix and eggnog until smooth. Allow it to sit for about 5 minutes to thicken.
- In another bowl, beat heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
- Cut the cooled cake into small squares. Start building your trifle by placing a layer of cake squares at the bottom of a trifle dish. Optionally brush the cake layer with rum for added flavor.
- Spread one-third of the eggnog pudding over the cake, then add one-third of the whipped cream. Sprinkle some white chocolate chips on top. Repeat this two more times, finishing with whipped cream.
- Top the trifle with extra cake crumbs, white chocolate chips, and a sprinkle of nutmeg.
- Refrigerate the trifle for at least 2-3 hours before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
Store leftover trifle covered loosely in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Best enjoyed within the first couple of days.
