Do you use a devils food cake or brownies? I've seen both recipes.
 
I've made it both ways and I think I prefer the cake to the brownies. The cake absorbs more of the pie filling/juice flavor than the brownies do. But either way, this trifle is my favorite of all the ones PC has done so far.

I use the brownies as I like the fudgi-ness (is that a word) of them....This too is one of my favorites!
 
I use cake. It makes for a smoother texture. But, either works well.
 
I use cake-
I will bake the cake at the host home in the deep covered baker for 10 min.
