Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • electric mixer
  • Serving Glasses
  • Spatula

Ingredients
  

Base Layers

  • 2 cups pound cake or sponge cake cut into small cubes
  • 1/2 cup strawberry jam

Creamy Layers

  • 2 cups custard or vanilla pudding chilled
  • 1 1/2 cups whipped cream freshly whipped or store-bought

Fruits and Garnish

  • 1 cup strawberries sliced
  • 1/2 cup raspberries fresh or frozen
  • mint leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Cut the cake into small cubes and place a layer at the bottom of each glass.
  • Spoon a thin layer of strawberry jam over the cake to moisten it.
  • Add a layer of custard or vanilla pudding, spreading evenly to cover the jam.
  • Arrange a few slices of strawberries and raspberries over the custard.
  • Add a generous layer of whipped cream and repeat the layers until the glass is filled.
  • Finish with a dollop of whipped cream, a berry, and a mint leaf on top for garnish.
  • Chill for at least 1 hour before serving to allow layers to set and flavors to blend.

Notes

  • For best results, assemble the trifle 24 hours in advance and refrigerate, adding the top whipped cream and berries right before serving.
  • Avoid over-soaking the cake to prevent sogginess.
