Ingredients
Units
Scale
For the Cake Layers:
- 1 (9-inch) sponge cake or angel food cake (store-bought or homemade), cut into cubes
For the Strawberry Filling:
- 4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
For the Whipped Cream Layer:
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Strawberry Filling:
- In a bowl, combine the sliced strawberries and granulated sugar. Stir well to coat the strawberries with sugar. Let them sit for about 30 minutes to release their juices, creating a syrupy consistency.
- Whip the Cream:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream with an electric mixer until it begins to thicken.
- Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
- Assemble the Layers:
- In a large glass trifle dish or individual dessert cups, layer the ingredients. Start with a layer of sponge cake cubes at the bottom.
- Spoon a layer of the strawberry mixture on top of the cake, followed by a layer of whipped cream. Repeat the layers, ending with whipped cream on top.
- Chill and Serve:
- Refrigerate the dessert for at least 2 hours to allow the layers to set.
- Before serving, garnish with additional fresh strawberries on top for decoration.
Notes
- You can use store-bought angel food cake or sponge cake to save time.
- For added flavor, you can drizzle a little bit of strawberry syrup or jam between the layers.
- If you prefer a more decadent dessert, try adding a layer of vanilla pudding or cream cheese filling.
