Ingredients
  

  • 1 store-bought angel food cake or homemade if you’re feeling ambitious
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries sliced
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • optional mint leaves for garnish

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer or whisk
  • Spatula
  • Clear glass trifle bowl
  • Sharp knife for slicing strawberries

Method
 

  1. Cut the angel food cake into bite-sized cubes and spread a layer at the bottom of your trifle dish.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
  3. Toss the sliced strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries together in a bowl and sprinkle over the cake layer.
  4. Spoon a layer of whipped cream over the berries and repeat the layers—cake, berries, whipped cream—until full, finishing with a thick layer of whipped cream on top.

Notes

Make sure your berries are dry before assembling to avoid watery layers. Chill the bowl and beaters before whipping the cream for better results. If using frozen berries, thaw and drain them before adding to prevent sogginess. You can make this trifle ahead of time; it tastes great after resting in the fridge for a day. For a fun presentation, serve in individual mason jars or create a flag design on top with berries.
