Print Recipe

A delightful layered dessert perfect for any gathering, featuring fluffy cake, sweet strawberries, and creamy whipped topping. This Strawberry Shortcake Trifle is easy to assemble and always a crowd-pleaser.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (16 ounce) pound cake, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 quart fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, gently toss the sliced strawberries with 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Let stand for 15-20 minutes to allow the strawberries to macerate and release their juices.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
  3. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the whipped cream. Continue beating until stiff peaks form.
  4. To assemble the trifle, layer half of the pound cake cubes in the bottom of a large trifle dish or individual serving glasses.
  5. Spoon half of the macerated strawberries and their juices over the pound cake layer.
  6. Spread half of the whipped cream mixture evenly over the strawberries.
  7. Repeat the layers with the remaining pound cake, strawberries, and whipped cream.
  8. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, you can use angel food cake instead of pound cake.
  • Add a splash of orange liqueur or balsamic glaze to the strawberries for an extra flavor dimension.
  • Garnish with fresh mint leaves or extra strawberries before serving.
