A quick and easy layered dessert featuring fresh strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, whipped cream, and cake, perfect for patriotic holidays and summer gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 2 cups fresh blueberries, washed and dried
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries (optional)
  • 1 prepared pound cake or angel food cake, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons Grand Marnier or orange liqueur (optional)
  • Fresh mint leaves, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Rinse strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries under cold water. Pat dry with paper towels. Hull and slice strawberries into bite-sized pieces. If using Grand Marnier, toss berries with the liqueur and let macerate.
  2. Slice pound cake or angel food cake into 1-inch cubes.
  3. Chill mixing bowl and beaters for 10 minutes. Pour cold heavy cream into bowl, add powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Beat on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
  4. In a clear trifle bowl, layer one-third of the cake cubes, then a generous layer of whipped cream, followed by a layer of mixed berries. Repeat layers two more times, finishing with whipped cream on top. Garnish with whole berries and fresh mint leaves.
  5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to let flavors meld and cake soak up juices.

Notes

Keep berries as dry as possible before layering to avoid soggy cake. Chill bowl and beaters before whipping cream for best results. Fold whipped cream gently to keep it airy. Make ahead up to 24 hours and garnish fresh before serving. For gluten-free, use gluten-free cake; for dairy-free, substitute coconut cream for whipped cream.
