Recipe: Yummy Black Forest Cake Parfait

Black Forest Cake Parfait. I was in charge of dessert at a friend's pool party a few weeks ago and my mother made a request for the Black Forest trifle. I know I made my favorite Reese peanut butter cupcake, so chocolate and cherries would be a great alternative.

I love Trivia because they are so easy to put together and they always look impressive. Like my favorite mom's banana pudding - looks so impressive, but it's simple and so tasty. Or my other Fall favorite Pumpkin Spice Cheesecake Trifle.

I don't bake my cakes from scratch because I have twins and am already baking them. Sorry, but it's the truth - even food bloggers are like a chatbox mix every now and then!

However, if you want to bake your own cake, then this chocolate cake from Chocolate and Peanut Butter Dream Cake is perfect! This is a super moist dark chocolate cake and will make a great cupcake crust.
