Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh strawberries
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 400 grams Sponge cake or pound cake
- 500 milliliters Heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 4 tablespoons Strawberry jam
- 4 leaves Optional: Fresh mint leaves
Directions
Step 1
Wash the strawberries, remove the stems, and slice them into thin pieces.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine the sliced strawberries with granulated sugar and gently toss to coat evenly. Allow the mixture to sit for 10 minutes to release the juices.
Step 3
While the strawberries are macerating, cut the sponge cake into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream using an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then continue whipping until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.
Step 5
In a trifle dish or individual serving glasses, start assembling the trifle by creating layers. Begin with a layer of sponge cake cubes to form the base.
Step 6
Spread a thin layer of strawberry jam over the sponge cake, followed by a layer of the sugared strawberries.
Step 7
Add a generous layer of whipped cream on top of the strawberries, smoothing it out with a spoon or spatula.
Step 8
Repeat the layers (sponge cake, strawberry jam, strawberries, whipped cream) until the dish is full, finishing with a layer of whipped cream on top.
Step 9
Garnish the trifle with a few strawberry slices and optional fresh mint leaves for a pop of color.
Step 10
Refrigerate the trifle for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve chilled and enjoy!
