Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 ounces pound cake or angel food cake
- 2 cups fresh strawberries
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 0.25 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons optional sprinkles
- 6 leaves fresh mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
Start by preparing the pound cake or angel food cake. Cut it into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
Wash and dry the strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries. Hull the strawberries and slice them into thin pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, add the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to whip the cream on high speed until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.
In a large trifle dish or clear glass bowl, start assembling the dessert. Begin with a layer of cake cubes, spreading them evenly at the bottom of the dish.
Add a layer of whipped cream over the cake cubes, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Next, sprinkle a layer of blueberries on top of the whipped cream, ensuring even coverage.
Repeat the process with another layer of cake cubes, followed by whipped cream, and then a layer of sliced strawberries.
Continue layering until all the ingredients are used, ending with a layer of whipped cream on top.
Garnish the top with the remaining strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, optional sprinkles for a festive touch, and fresh mint leaves.
Cover the trifle with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld together. Serve chilled and enjoy!
