Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh strawberries
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 400 grams Vanilla sponge cake
- 500 milliliters Heavy cream
- 30 grams Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 60 milliliters Orange juice (freshly squeezed)
- 50 grams Almond slivers (optional for garnish)
- 10 leaves Mint leaves (optional for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Wash and hull the strawberries, then slice them into thin pieces. Reserve a few whole strawberries for garnish if desired.
Step 2
Place the sliced strawberries in a bowl and sprinkle with granulated sugar. Toss gently to coat and let them sit for 10 minutes to release their juices.
Step 3
Cut the vanilla sponge cake into 2.5 cm (1-inch) cubes and set aside.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream using a hand mixer or stand 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 small bowl, combine the orange juice with 2 tablespoons of the strawberry juice from the macerated strawberries.
Step 6
In a trifle dish or individual serving glasses, begin layering the dessert. Start with a layer of sponge cake cubes, then drizzle 1-2 tablespoons of the orange-strawberry juice mix over the cake to moisten it.
Step 7
Add a generous layer of the macerated strawberries on top of the cake, followed by a layer of whipped cream.
Step 8
Repeat the layering process (cake, juice, strawberries, cream) until the dish/glasses are filled, ending with a layer of whipped cream on top.
Step 9
Garnish with the reserved whole strawberries, almond slivers, and mint leaves if desired.
Step 10
Refrigerate the trifle for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
