Trifle Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 angel food cake or pound cake, cubed
• 1 cup fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
• 2 cups heavy cream
• ½ cup sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ½ cup raspberry jam or custard (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Whipped Cream: In a large bowl, beat the heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
2. Assemble the Layers: In a large trifle dish, layer the cubed cake, followed by a layer of whipped cream. Add a layer of berries, then repeat.
3. Add Jam (Optional): If you like, spread a thin layer of raspberry jam between the cake layers for extra flavor.
4. Chill and Serve: Let the trifle sit in the refrigerator for a few hours to allow the flavors to meld. Top with extra whipped cream before serving.

Expert Tip: Trifles are best when made ahead of time, allowing the cake to absorb the cream and juices from the berries.
