Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Pound cake or sponge cake
- 400 grams Fresh strawberries
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 240 milliliters Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 5 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the strawberries thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Hull and slice the strawberries into thin slices. Reserve a few whole strawberries for garnish if desired.
In a medium bowl, combine the sliced strawberries and granulated sugar. Mix gently until the strawberries are evenly coated. Let them sit for 10 minutes to release their juices.
While the strawberries macerate, cut the pound cake or sponge cake into small cubes, approximately 1-inch in size.
In a separate mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip the cream.
Begin assembling the trifles in individual glasses or jars. Start by placing a layer of cake cubes at the bottom.
Add a layer of the macerated strawberries along with some of their juices over the cake cubes.
Spoon a layer of whipped cream over the strawberries.
Repeat the layering process (cake, strawberries, whipped cream) until the glasses are filled, finishing with a layer of whipped cream on top.
Garnish each trifle with a whole strawberry and a fresh mint leaf if desired.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving. Enjoy!
