Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound cake or angel food cake, cubed
- 2 cups fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 2 cups whipped cream or vanilla pudding
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by preparing the cake. Cut your pound cake or angel food cake into bite-sized cubes, letting its tender, golden crumb shine through.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the whipped cream with sugar and vanilla extract. Whip it all together until it’s beautifully fluffy and holds its shape perfectly.
- In a trifle dish or individual dessert cups, start layering your ingredients. Begin with a generous layer of cake cubes at the bottom, followed by a handful of fresh berries, and a luscious layer of the whipped cream mixture.
- Repeat the layers until all your ingredients are used, making sure to finish with a heavenly layer of whipped cream on top. The sight of those colorful layers peeking through is sure to bring smiles!
- If you’d like, garnish your creation with fresh mint leaves for a touch of color and aroma.
- Chill your trifle in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving, allowing the layers to meld and the flavors to harmonize beautifully.
Notes
You can prepare the cake and whipped cream mixture a day in advance. Just assemble the trifle a few hours before serving to ensure it tastes fresh.
