The box cake mix will call for vegetable oil and water (which you can use) but I use melted butter and milk because it makes the cake have a much better texture and flavour. 

Usually, you wouldn't want to overbake a cake, but for a trifle it's actually better if it's a bit more baked then usual with less moisture, because if it's too light and fluffy it won't hold up well in the trifle and become mushy once the fillings are piled up on top of it.

If you're thinking about a garnish, shaved chocolate will look and taste great on top.
