Toffee Cake Trifle

This recipe is an adaptation of my husband's favorite cake- Heath Cake (a.k.a Better than Sex Cake- I'm probably going to get a lot of inappropriate google searches on this one). It is the most decadent cake you will ever eat. I was having my husband's family over for dinner and decided to make something a little different. Making this cake into a trifle cuts the sweetness down, which I preferred.  This cake does have to sit overnight, so be sure to plan ahead when making it.
