Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 9-inch round Chocolate cake
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 4 cups Strawberries
- 4 ounces Dark chocolate
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Bake or purchase a 9-inch chocolate cake and allow it to cool completely. Cut the cake into 1-inch cubes.
Wash the strawberries, hull them, and slice them thinly.
In a medium mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with a hand or stand mixer until soft peaks form.
Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the whipped cream, then continue whipping until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
Use a vegetable peeler or grater to shave the dark chocolate into thin curls for garnish.
In a clear glass trifle dish or large bowl, create the first layer by placing an even layer of chocolate cake cubes at the bottom.
Add a layer of sliced strawberries over the cake cubes, ensuring they are evenly spread.
Spoon a layer of whipped cream over the strawberries, spreading evenly to cover the fruit layer.
Repeat the layering process with more cake, strawberries, and whipped cream until the dish is full, finishing with a layer of whipped cream on top.
Garnish the top layer with shaved dark chocolate and a few whole or halved strawberries for decoration.
Refrigerate the trifle for at least 2 hours before serving to let the flavors meld.
