Notes

Chill all ingredients before assembling to prevent soggy cake. Whip cream to soft peaks and avoid over-whipping. Refrigerate trifle for at least 1 hour to let flavors meld. Use frozen berries only if thawed and well-drained. For dairy-free option, substitute coconut whipped cream and vegan sponge cake. Add lemon zest for brightness. To re-fluff whipped cream before serving, whisk gently.
