Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Delicious Carrot Cake Trifle.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and generously greasing a 9x13-inch baking dish to ensure your cake releases effortlessly.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, blend the carrot cake mix with water, vegetable oil, and eggs.
Step 3
Use an electric mixer on low speed to moisten the ingredients for about 30 seconds, then ramp up to medium speed and mix for approximately 2 minutes, making sure to scrape down the bowl as needed for a smooth batter.
Step 4
Pour this delightful mixture into your prepared baking dish and let it bake for 31 to 36 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center emerges clean.
Step 5
Once baked, take it out of the oven but keep it in the pan.
Step 6
Allow the cake to cool for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack, where it will cool completely in about 20 minutes.
Step 7
While the cake cools, spread almonds and coconut flakes on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven for 5 to 10 minutes until they become fragrant and golden.
Step 8
Set them aside to cool.
Step 9
In another bowl, combine milk and instant pudding mix, beating with an electric mixer until the mixture thickens slightly.
Step 10
Add cream cheese and mix until smooth, then gently fold in the whipped topping for a light and airy texture.
Step 11
Once your cake has cooled completely, cut it into bite-sized cubes.
Step 12
In a separate bowl, mix the cooled almonds, coconut, and toffee bits together for a crunchy topping.
Step 13
In a trifle dish or glass bowl, create a beautiful layered dessert by placing half of the cake cubes at the bottom, followed by half of the pudding mixture, and then half of the almond mixture.
Step 14
Repeat these layers, finishing with the almond mixture on top for a delightful crunch.
Step 15
Enjoy this scrumptious treat that’s perfect for any gathering or a sweet indulgence at home!.
