Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 store-bought or homemade pound cake (about 12 ounces / 340 grams), cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 cups strawberries, hulled and sliced (about 300 grams)
  • 1.5 cups fresh blueberries (about 225 grams)
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream, chilled (480 ml)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (50 grams)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Berries: In a bowl, combine sliced strawberries and blueberries with 2 tablespoons of sugar and optional lemon juice. Let macerate at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
  2. Cut the Pound Cake: Slice the pound cake into uniform 1-inch cubes for even layering.
  3. Whip the Cream: In a chilled mixing bowl, whip heavy cream with remaining sugar (2 tablespoons) and vanilla extract until soft peaks form (approximately 7 minutes).
  4. Assemble the Trifle: Layer a third of the pound cake cubes in a trifle bowl, followed by a third of the macerated berries with syrup, then add a generous layer of whipped cream. Repeat the layers two more times, finishing with whipped cream on top.
  5. Chill Before Serving: Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least one hour to let flavors meld before serving.
