Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Pound cake or sponge cake
- 350 grams Strawberries, fresh and sliced
- 200 grams Raspberries, fresh
- 150 grams Blueberries, fresh
- 500 ml Vanilla custard (store-bought or homemade)
- 300 ml Whipped cream
- 100 grams Strawberry jam
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional for garnish)
- 10 leaves Mint leaves (optional for garnish)
Instructions
1. Begin by preparing the fruits. Wash and pat dry the strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries. Hull the strawberries and slice them thinly.
2. Cut the pound or sponge cake into bite-sized cubes, approximately 2 cm in size.
3. In a clear trifle bowl (or individual serving glasses), start by spreading a thin layer of strawberry jam at the bottom.
4. Add a single layer of cake cubes over the jam, ensuring they cover the base evenly.
5. Spoon a layer of vanilla custard over the cake cubes, spreading it evenly to create a smooth layer.
6. Arrange a mix of strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries over the custard. Reserve some berries for garnish.
7. Add a generous layer of whipped cream on top of the fruits, spreading it to the edges of the bowl.
8. Repeat the layering process (cake cubes, custard, fruits, whipped cream) until the bowl is full, ending with a final layer of whipped cream on top.
9. For decoration, arrange reserved berries on top of the whipped cream. Dust with powdered sugar and garnish with mint leaves if desired.
10. Refrigerate the trifle for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve chilled and enjoy!
