There are some days when I just don't want to put a lot of effort into baking or cooking. I want fast, easy and delicious results that looks like something I want to present to others. This super easy layered trifle is just the ticket. You could get all fancy and make your own pound cake, but why? Most store bakeries offer freshly made and if yours doesn't stroll the freezer aisle, there's one there that I've used many times that's actually pretty good.
Recipe:
1 store bought pound cake (or you can make one)
3 c. heavy cream
2 tsp. real vanilla
1/2 c. powdered sugar (I'm not into super sweet whipping cream, but feel free to add more)
2 containers of raspberries
2 containers of blueberries
In a mixer add the heavy cream, vanilla and powdered sugar. Whip until you have a nice stiff whipping cream. Usually takes around 4-5 minutes on a fairly high speed.
While this is whipping cut the pound cake into bite size cubes.
Add one layer of the pound cake, top with 3/4 container of raspberries. Next add a layer of the whipped cream, spread it evenly.
Top this with another layer of pound cake, 3/4 container of blueberries and more whipping cream. For the final layer add the remaining pound cake, and the rest of the berries. The remaining whipping cream can be used when serving, put a dollop on the top. I prefer to wait to add the last bit of whipping cream so the berries do not bleed on it. Totally optional to do it this way. Also, you can trade out the fruit, but since it's Memorial Day weekend and this combo of berries is wonderful it's what I chose.
Enjoy!!!
