Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cake (approximately 9-inch round or equivalent) Gluten-free sponge cake
- 2 cups Vanilla custard
- 1 cup Fresh strawberries (hulled and sliced)
- 1 cup Fresh blueberries
- 1 cup Fresh raspberries
- 1.5 cups Whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Orange juice
- 2 tablespoons Grated dark chocolate (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. Prepare a gluten-free sponge cake according to your favorite recipe or use a store-bought option. Allow it to cool completely before using.
2. In a mixing bowl, whip the whipping cream with the granulated sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Set aside in the refrigerator to keep chilled.
3. Cut the gluten-free sponge cake into 1-inch cubes.
4. Pour the orange juice into a shallow dish. Lightly dip each cake cube into the orange juice to moisten them, ensuring they are not overly soaked.
5. In a clear trifle dish or large glass bowl, start assembling the layers. Begin with a layer of the moistened gluten-free cake cubes at the bottom.
6. Spread an even layer of vanilla custard over the cake cubes.
7. Add a layer of assorted fresh fruits, using strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries.
8. Spoon a layer of whipped cream over the fruits, spreading it evenly.
9. Repeat the layers (cake, custard, fruit, whipped cream) until you fill the dish or run out of ingredients, finishing with a layer of whipped cream on top.
10. For garnish, sprinkle grated dark chocolate over the top layer of whipped cream, if desired.
11. Chill the trifle in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
