The Story How My Easy Red Velvet Cake Recipe Turned Into A Red Velvet Cake Trifle

My motto is ‘if a chocolate souffle falls, serve it as a chocolate pudding.  Never start over!’ She was upset and I asked her to grab a trifle bowl, and the outcome was the most popular dessert of the night, Red Velvet Trifle! I add fresh fruit like red strawberries for a stunning presentation.  Honestly, I enjoy both the Easy Red Velvet Cake and the Red Velvet Trifle and can never decide which dessert to make.
