Black Forest Trifle
This is a easy to make, but fancy to look at and great to eat dessert. This is a recipe of my own invention.

Needed to make the cake:
* 1 box chocolate cake mix
Step 1: Make exactly as the directions on the box say, except for one thing. Use milk in place of the water.
Step 2: Allow to cool completely. Then remove the top of each cake and cut into squares. Set aside.

* 2 cups heavy whipping cream
* 1 powered sugar
Step 1: Beat the cream until soft peaks form. Add the sugar and beat on high for another minute. Set aside.

Putting it all together:

Step 2: Add a half a can of pie filling and spread evenly.
Step 3: Sprinkle a layer of nuts on top.
Step 4: Add 1/4 of the ganache on top of the cake.
