How This Easy Red Velvet Cake Turned Into A Trifle Recipe
This dessert also holds one of Holly’s favorite “make-it-work” stories. Her mother was making the red velvet cake recipe for a family gathering and the layers fell apart. Holly’s motto is ‘if a chocolate souffle falls, serve it as a chocolate pudding. Never start over!’ She was upset and Holly asked her to grab a trifle bowl, and the outcome was the most popular dessert of the night, Red Velvet Trifle! Add fresh fruit like red strawberries for a stunning presentation. Honestly, we enjoy both the Easy Red Velvet Cake and the Red Velvet Trifle and can never decide which dessert to make.
