Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams sponge cake
- 120 milliliters Irish whiskey
- 200 grams raspberry jam
- 200 grams fresh raspberries
- 700 milliliters vanilla custard
- 500 milliliters heavy cream
- 30 grams powdered sugar
- 50 grams toasted almonds
- 30 grams dark chocolate shavings
Instructions
Cut the sponge cake into 2.5 cm (1 inch) cubes and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle the Irish whiskey evenly over the sponge cake cubes. Toss gently to ensure the whiskey is absorbed by the cake.
In a small saucepan, warm the raspberry jam over low heat until it becomes slightly runny. Allow it to cool slightly before combining it with the fresh raspberries in a separate bowl, then set aside.
In a trifle dish or large glass bowl, arrange a layer of whiskey-soaked sponge cake cubes at the bottom.
Spread a layer of the raspberry and jam mixture evenly over the cake layer, ensuring the raspberries are distributed evenly.
Pour a layer of vanilla custard over the raspberry mixture, smoothing it out with a spatula.
Repeat the layering process (cake, raspberry mixture, custard) until all ingredients are used, ending with a custard layer on top.
In a chilled mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar together using an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
Spread or pipe the whipped cream over the final custard layer, creating decorative swirls if desired.
Sprinkle the toasted almonds and dark chocolate shavings evenly over the whipped cream as garnish.
Refrigerate the trifle for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve chilled and enjoy!
