Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Store-bought angel food cake
- 2 cups Heavy whipping cream
- 0.5 cups Powdered sugar
- 0.25 cups Dry sherry
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Fresh berries (strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries)
- 2 tablespoons Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Cut the store-bought angel food cake into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream using an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, dry sherry, and vanilla extract to the whipped cream. Continue whipping until medium peaks form.
In a trifle dish or a serving bowl, create a base layer using the cubed angel food cake. Spread an even layer of the sherry-infused cream over the cake.
Repeat the layering process (cake, then cream) until all the cake and cream are used up, finishing with a layer of cream on top.
Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld.
Before serving, top the dessert with fresh berries and garnish with mint leaves if desired.
