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