Ingredients

• 1 cup matzo cake meal
• 2 tablespoons potato starch
• 0.5 cup granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or other Passover-friendly milk substitute
• 1 package kosher-for-Passover vanilla pudding mix
• 2 cups strawberries, sliced
• 1 cup blueberries
• 1 cup whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• 0.5 cup Passover-friendly raspberry jam

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9-inch round cake pan with parchment paper or grease lightly with oil.

Step 2

In a bowl, whisk together the matzo cake meal, potato starch, and granulated sugar.

Step 3

Separate the eggs. In one bowl, beat the egg yolks with the vanilla extract until pale and fluffy. In another bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.

Step 4

Fold the egg yolk mixture into the dry ingredients. Gently fold in the egg whites, taking care not to deflate them.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cake is set and golden. Allow to cool completely, then cut the cake into 1-inch cubes.

Step 6

Prepare the vanilla pudding according to the package instructions, using the almond milk as the liquid. Allow it to chill in the fridge while you prepare the rest of the layers.

Step 7

In a medium bowl, whip the cream with the powdered sugar until soft peaks form.

Step 8

To assemble the trifle, begin with a layer of cake cubes at the bottom of a large glass trifle bowl or individual serving glasses.

Step 9

Spread a thin layer of raspberry jam over the cake, followed by a layer of vanilla pudding.

Step 10

Add a layer of sliced strawberries and blueberries.

Step 11

Repeat the layers (cake, jam, pudding, and fruit) until the dish is filled. Top with a generous layer of whipped cream and garnish with extra berries.

Step 12

Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve chilled and enjoy!
