Happy Tuesday!! I have a great recipe for you today!
If you’re invited to a party, heading to a potluck or just craving a chocolate treat that takes little to no effort – this is a recipe for you. Now as you read further you will realize that a lot of this recipe comes with off the shelf help. Items like chocolate cake in a box, instant chocolate pudding, skor bars and some homemade whip cream.
My mom makes this recipe sometimes when we have family functions – so the last time I was invited to a potluck I dragged this along (see picture above). Needless to say, when this made it out on the table for dessert it was an instant hit and didn’t last very long.
Next time you need a simple sweet treat – try this one.
Ingredients
- 1 Chocolate Cake Mix
- 1 Package Instant Chocolate Pudding
- 3 Skor Bars
- 3 Cups Whip Cream
Method
- Bake a chocolate cake mix in a 9×13″ pan as per instructions.
- Break cake into 1″ cubes.
- Hammer or use food processor to crumble up 3-4 SKOR bars (or use a package of SKOR bits).
- Prepare 1 package of chocolate pudding mix as per instructions.
- In a large bowl filled with pieces of cake cubes, place a layer of pudding, then a layer of whipped cream and finally topped with some SKOR bar bits.
- Repeat layers. Once you reach the top of the bowl, top with remaining skor bar bits.
- ENJOY!
ZestyTip: A common downfall when baking cakes is opening the oven door too soon. This sudden rush of cold air into a warm/hot oven will result in the cake collapsing and coming out flat. The oven door should not be opened until ¾’s the way through allowed cooking time. Controlling its browning process is essential.
After proof reading this post – I realized just how easy this recipe is to make! You have to make it and tell me what you think of it.
Question of the day: What is your favorite kind of cake?
Have yourself a great day and I will see you back tomorrow.
Take care

You had me at skor! Sounds deliciously wonderful.
Gorgeous!!!!
**My favorite cake = Dulce de leche caramel cake.
yum, i think we used to call this death by chocolate
the cake looks like a football! heaven… can’t remember the last time i had this, what a shame!
oh yummm.. cake, cream, chocolate and toffee…cant get much better!
Definitely going to make this one… it looks awesome!
I bet this one is ALWAYS a huge hit. Gosh, it sounds good. My favorite cake – any and all of them…as long as there is a scoop of ice-cream on the side!
Oh man – this is too good to look at this early in the morning!
My favorite kind of cake is not really a cake! I always want a giant chocolate chip cookie cake for my birthday – it’s the best!
for REAL cake, I would say my grandmother’s/mom’s homemade chocolate cake with homemade chocolate icing.
did you seriously have to just show me that amazing dessert when ihave sworn off sweets for a while?!?!?! i am getting you back today.
I love how easy this is!!! It looks delicious! I love carrot cake or anything with spices. I bet you thought I was going to say pumpkin cake
Skor bars are one of those candies I completely forget about, although that trifle looks delicious. Can you really buy skor bits!?! I’ve never heard of such a thing.
As far as my favorite cake goes, I would have to say a chocolate cupcake or banana cake. Although back in the day it was cherry chip cake made from the box mix. I think growing up I had no idea people actually made cakes from scratch at home.
@Kelly – Yeah you can buy Skor bits here – Just like you can buy the large bags of M&M’s and Smarties. They are really good
it’ll sound like a strange combination but it’s my favourite cake. Red Leicester (cheese) and apple cake. basically chunks of cheese and apple in a plain sponge mix.
it is lovely warm, fresh from the oven. i quite like it cold too once the cheese has set again! only works with red leicester though.
I love Skor bars!!!
My favorite cake would have to be carrot cake with a cinnamon cream cheese frosting. Yum!
This is very similar to a trifle that I’ve made before from the Company’s Coming series, but I’m pretty sure we use Kahlua in it
My fave cake is definitely cheescake! Yum!
It looks so simple! Thank you for sharing
what a fantastic trifle!! I love those candy bars…would love that little crunch with the cake…mmmm
I love carrot cake. Cheesecake is up there too.
Oh My Gosh. That looks divine.

My mother would make this when I was growing up! Want to know a secret to making it EVEN BETTER? Add a little Kahlua to the cake crumbs. Mmmm….
Trifles are so fun and easy! I will have to try the skor trifle.
My favorite kind of cake is a toss-up between strawberry and caramel. mmmmm yum!
Thanks for the recipe!
Kaneil
DROOL!!! That’s my favorite kind of dessert!
oh wow! this looks soooooooooo yummy!
How delicious looking it is! I never knew how to make it before you. Now, I will also try to make it. Thanks for sharing it.
Oh man, Skor bars are my favorite. I don’t eat candy bars anymore but if I were to choose one, it would be Skor.
This looks good – never had a skors bar, but still it looks mmmm.
That trifle looks nice and simple and good!
I haven’t made this one yet but I will just add that trifles are a wonderful thing to make when your cake has a “little accident.” Nobody cares what it looks like once it’s been cut into one inch cubes and thrown into a pretty bowl with all the other fixings! LOL. I also like to add a bit of liquor sometimes. *Hic!*
I’ve not had a Skor bar in years, yet it’s hard to forget how great they are! I love this recipe, Im adding it to my to-make list!
Thank you!
Cory, this looks great. Thanks for sharing it with us! I’m going to be featuring this post on my Sunday Shout Outs this week, so please check it out on Sunday morning.
You had me at “skor bar”. This sounds like it would make a great dessert for a laid back BBQ. Now lets just get some summer weather so I can make it!
Try adding 1/4 cup of Kaluah to the pudding…even better!
best cake ever!!! 5 star
