Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 store-bought cake (approximately 12 ounces) Angel food cake
- 2 cups, sliced Fresh strawberries
- 1 cup Fresh blueberries
- 1 cup Fresh raspberries
- 2 cups Whipping cream
- 3 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 sprigs (optional, for garnish) Mint leaves
Instructions
1. Prepare the whipping cream: In a large mixing bowl, beat the whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract using a hand or stand mixer until soft peaks form. Refrigerate until ready to use.
2. Tear the angel food cake into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
3. Wash and prepare the berries: Slice strawberries and keep them in a separate bowl. Rinse the blueberries and raspberries and allow them to dry on a paper towel.
4. Begin layering your trifle: In a large glass trifle bowl (or individual serving glasses), start with a layer of angel food cake pieces, followed by a layer of whipped cream, then add a mix of the fresh berries.
5. Repeat the layers (cake, whipped cream, and berries) until the trifle dish is full, finishing with a final layer of whipped cream topped with a decorative arrangement of berries.
6. Garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired, before serving.
7. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 3 hours before serving for a chilled dessert.
