Directions

1 Heat oven to 325°F. Spray two 8-inch square (2-quart) glass baking dishes with cooking spray.
2 In large bowl, beat cake mix, buttermilk, oil, eggs and cocoa with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds, then on medium speed 2 minutes.
3 Divide batter between 2 bowls. Add red food color to one bowl, and mix well. Pour into one of the baking dishes. Add blue food color to other bowl, and mix well. Pour into other baking dish. Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely in baking dishes, about 1 hour.
4 In large bowl, mix cream cheese, 1/2 cup of the sugar and the vanilla until smooth. In another large bowl, beat whipping cream and remaining 1/4 cup sugar until stiff peaks form. Mix 1/2 cup of the whipped cream into cream cheese mixture. Gently fold in another 1 1/2 cups of the whipped cream. Set aside.
5 Cut cakes into 1-inch squares.
6 Put half of blue cake cubes in bottom of trifle bowl. Add one-third of the cream cheese mixture on top. Add half of the red cake cubes, followed by another one-third of the cream cheese mixture. Top with remaining blue cake cubes, then remaining cream cheese mixture. Reserve remaining red cake for another use. Add remaining whipped cream to top of trifle. Garnish with strawberries and blueberries.

The cocoa and buttermilk turn the white cake mix into a red velvet layer and a blue velvet layer. The cream cheese frosting is to make this taste like a Red Velvet cake and it does. What a great idea!

What is the cocoa added for? Also, wouldn't whipped cream alone be easier than the cream cheese mixture?

To cut down on ingredients I used store bought whipped topping for the filling and it worked great. I added sliced strawberries and blueberries between the layers of cake. I omitted the cocoa because the cake was deliciously moist and didn't need any extra flavoring. Also, I assembled the cake in red, white and blue from the bottom of the bowl upwards. This is a great family dessert.
