Ingredients:
- 1 box of chocolate cake mix (or your favorite homemade recipe)

- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 12 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Whipped cream (for topping)
- Chocolate shavings or grated chocolate (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Bake the chocolate cake according to package instructions or your favorite recipe. Allow it to cool completely before assembling the trifle.
- In a double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water, whisk together the egg yolks, 1/2 cup of sugar, and water. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
- Remove from heat and stir in the chopped chocolate until completely melted and smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until foamy. Gradually add the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the chocolate mixture until well combined.
- In another bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
- Cut or break the cooled chocolate cake into bite-sized pieces.
- Begin assembling the trifle by layering the components in a glass bowl or individual serving dishes. Start with a layer of cake pieces, followed by a layer of chocolate mousse, and a layer of whipped cream. Repeat the layers, ending with a layer of whipped cream.
- Garnish the top with chocolate shavings or grated chocolate.
- Refrigerate the trifle for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.
