Ingredients: all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda · 180 min cook time · 450kcal · ~₩23,280
Ingredients
250g all-purpose flour, 300g granulated sugar, 75g unsweetened cocoa powder, 10g baking powder, 5g baking soda, 3g salt, 240ml hot coffee, 240ml buttermilk, 2개 large eggs, 10ml vanilla extract, 30g cornstarch, 720ml whole milk, 113g unsalted butter, 480ml heavy whipping cream, 200g Heath bar or Skor bar, 150g Oreo cookies
Instructions
1. Butter a 9x13 inch pan, then line with parchment paper and butter the parchment.
2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly distributed.
3. Add hot coffee, buttermilk, two eggs, and vanilla to the dry ingredients. Mix well until combined.
4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake in a 350-degree Fahrenheit oven for 35 to 45 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean.
5. While the cake bakes, prepare the chocolate pudding. In a pan (off heat), whisk together cocoa powder, sugar, and cornstarch until combined.
6. Add milk to the cocoa mixture and whisk again until smooth.
7. Place the pan over medium heat and whisk continuously until the pudding thickens, becomes glossy, and gently bubbles. Do not boil.
8. Remove from heat and stir in cubed butter and vanilla until fully incorporated.
9. Pour the pudding into a heatproof bowl. Cover the surface directly with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming, and refrigerate to cool.
10. Once the cake is baked and cooled, carefully remove it from the pan. If it breaks, it's okay as it will be crumbled.
11. Cut the cooled cake into imperfect squares or crumble it.
12. Prepare the crunchy layer by crushing Heath/Skor bars or Oreo cookies.
13. Make the whipped cream: In a bowl, combine heavy whipping cream, a little vanilla, and a tiny bit of sugar. Beat for 3-4 minutes until fluffy and slightly stiffer than usual.
14. Assemble the trifle: In a trifle bowl (or clear bowl), layer half of the crumbled cake.
15. Spread a layer of the cooled chocolate pudding over the cake.
16. Sprinkle a layer of the crushed crunchy topping (Heath/Skor or Oreos).
17. Add a layer of whipped cream.
18. Repeat the layers with the remaining cake, pudding, crunchy topping, and finish with whipped cream.
19. Refrigerate the assembled trifle for at least a couple of hours, or preferably overnight, to chill thoroughly.
