Yum, mine did not look as good as this (didn't have a proper dish) - but it passed the trifle test from my British boyfriend. I didn't make the cake with pudding (couldn't find a pudding mix in the grocery store, wonder if they still sell them). British boyfriend, said the cake soaked in the Espresso sauce and the kahlua syrup (or coffee liquor if you're using that). I used a kahlua syrup from DiVinci). This was all he wanted. I however ate the rest of it. If I were to make it again (and I will), I would double the cream amount.

Mine didn't stretch as far as it should have.

I made this as dessert for a dinner party and everyone loved it! I will definitely make it again. I used 4 (8-inch) round cake pans instead of 5 and doubled the Creamy Coffee Filling so as to have some to "top" the dessert with. Instead of using 1 c. of water to make espresso, I used 1 cup of cold, strong coffee. I also substituted shaved choc. for the choc.-covered coffee beans.
