Ingredients

• 16 ounces pound cake or angel food cake
• 2 cups fresh strawberries
• 2 cups fresh blueberries
• 1 cup fresh raspberries
• 2 cups heavy whipping cream
• 0.25 cups powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons optional sprinkles
• 6 leaves fresh mint leaves for garnish

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the pound cake or angel food cake. Cut it into 1-inch cubes and set aside.

Step 2

Wash and dry the strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries. Hull the strawberries and slice them into thin pieces.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, add the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to whip the cream on high speed until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.

Step 4

In a large trifle dish or clear glass bowl, start assembling the dessert. Begin with a layer of cake cubes, spreading them evenly at the bottom of the dish.

Step 5

Add a layer of whipped cream over the cake cubes, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 6

Next, sprinkle a layer of blueberries on top of the whipped cream, ensuring even coverage.

Step 7

Repeat the process with another layer of cake cubes, followed by whipped cream, and then a layer of sliced strawberries.

Step 8

Continue layering until all the ingredients are used, ending with a layer of whipped cream on top.

Step 9

Garnish the top with the remaining strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, optional sprinkles for a festive touch, and fresh mint leaves.

Step 10

Cover the trifle with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld together. Serve chilled and enjoy!
