Who turned off the sun?

The weather guy said it was supposed to be sunny today, but I'm sure that I never saw it.

Here's a recipe that people love when I take it to potlucks.

Chocolate Trifle

1 devil's food cake mix made and baked according to instructions (I use the pudding in the mix kind)
4 small packages chocolate pudding mix
8 cups milk
1 large and one small cool whip.
2 cups brewed coffee

1. a large trifle dish or bowl crumble 1/2 half of the cake AFTER IT IS COOLED.
2. Pour 1 cup of the coffee over the cake mix and then press down with the back of a spoon to form a smooth layer.
3. Mix 2 packages of pudding mix with 4 cups milk and pour over the cake mix evenly. Allow to set a little
4. Stir the large cool whip with a spoon for easier spreading and spread a good bit over the pudding mix to form an even layer. How much depends on the size of your bowl. Half the fun of this dish is the presentation.
5. Spread the second half of the cake over the cool whip carefully.(Reserve a Tablespoon of cake crumbs)
6. Top with second cup of coffee and press down.
7. Top with another layer of pudding using remaining mix and milk.
8. Top with more cool whip (you may not need all of the little container depending on bowl size)
9. Sprinkle the cake crumbs over the top of the cake for effect.

Chill and enjoy.
