Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Combine sliced strawberries with sugar and let sit until juicy and softened.
- Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form and texture is light.
- Layer cake cubes in the bottom of a trifle dish, followed by strawberries and whipped cream.
- Repeat layers until dish is filled, keeping layers even and visually clean.
- Chill for at least one hour before serving to allow flavors to blend and texture to set.
Notes
For softer texture, allow cake to absorb more strawberry juice. For firmer layers, assemble just before serving. Do not freeze, as cream separates. Handle layers gently for clean presentation. Customize with other fruits or flavors. Store covered in refrigerator up to two days.
