After receiving a trifle dish for Mother's Day, Julie Williquette of Hartselle, Alabama created this pretty dessert. "Made with sugar-free instant chocolate pudding and fat-free frozen whipped topping, it's easier on the waistline," Julie notes. "My chocoholic husband loves it so much that I usually serve it on Father's Day, too."

In a large mixing bowl, beat butter. Gradually add sugar; beat for 2 minutes. Add the eggs, egg whites, sour cream, milk, vanilla and peppermint extract if desired. Combine the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt; add to butter mixture just until blended.
