Bake cake in a 13x9 pan according to the package instructions and let it cool. Once cooled, break the cake into chunks or cut into 1-inch squares.
If using fresh, whip heavy cream with ⅓ cup sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extra until soft peaks form.
Heat hot fudge sauce slightly according to the package directions, or put it in the microwave for 20 seconds at a time until soft and spreadable.
If making individual servings, divide cake into how many servings you'll make, and place half of each serving in the bottom of the cup, jar or dish. If using a large trifle dish, place half of the cubed cake in the bottom.
Create the second layer by topping the cake with hot fudge sauce. This won't be a super thick layer, but make sure it goes all the way to the edges.
Create a layer of whipped cream (or Cool Whip), ensuring to spread it all the way to the edges. Top this with a layer of toffee bits.
Repeat all the layers (cake, hot fudge, whipped cream, and toffee) at least one more time. If you have some left, drizzle more hot fudge on top and finish with more toffee bits. Refrigerate or serve immediately.

The light and fluffy texture of Devil's Food Cake is a great complement to the crunch toffee bits, but you could also use any type of chocolate cake in the recipe.
This recipe is sooo much better if you make your own whipped cream that's slightly sweetened. However, if short on time, a tub of Cool Whip will do.
Trifles tend to look nicer if you make sure your layers go all the way to the side of your dish or cup and don't have any gaps.
This recipe is great for almost any occasion: church, potlucks, picnics, holidays, birthdays, or showers.
