Easy Berry Trifle

finished berry trifle
Trifles fall into the dessert category of easy-to-make and fun-to-eat so I am always looking for a combination of sweets that will meld nicely in a trifle dish. Last week I made a lemon curd, pound cake and gingersnap trifle. This week I am back to the basic berry and cake trifle. Truth be told (which I did confess when I served this dessert), I intended on making an angel food cake layered with berries and cream…but the angel food cake did not come out of the pan looking its best so this was plan B. Not a bad backup plan at all!

Start with a layer of cake, add some berries, top with cream and repeat as many times as necessary until you either reach the top of the bowl or you run out of ingredients. Trifles are flexible and there is no pre-set method that you must follow. Just keep layering foods you like in a dessert and you can’t go wrong.

  1. This recipe reminds me of my grandpa who loved nothing better than a berry trifle. He would certainly love your. The recipe looks great.

    Small world. Is your son's teacher named Mrs. Marshall?

  2. This looks so yummy! I wish i could eat strawberries! I'm allergic. But I may have to make one of these for my family this summer. We buy berries from the local farmers market.

    1. I wish you could eat berries too!! I would love some fresh berries from a farmers' market. Maybe you'd like this combination in a trifle-- no berries in sight! http://www.abakershouse.com/2012/05/lemon-curd-pound-cake-and-ginger-trifle.html

Thanks so much for leaving a comment. Due to a flood of spam Anonymous comments I am going to moderate comments to see if that cuts back on the problem.
