But wait, What’s a Trifle?

A trifle is a traditional English dessert that consists of layers of sponge cake or ladyfingers, fruit (often berries), custard or cream, and sometimes jelly or liqueur. These layers are typically repeated to create a visually appealing and delicious dessert.

Trifles are usually served chilled and can be made in a variety of flavors and combinations, making them versatile and customizable. The beauty of a trifle lies in its harmonious blend of textures and flavors, offering a delightful treat for both the eyes and the taste buds.

Ingredients:

Cake

• Eggs – at room temperature
• Granulate sugar
• All-purpose flour
• Pinch of salt
• Cream of tartar
• Baking powder

Cream

• Egg yolk
• Sweetened Condensed milk
• Whole milk
• Cornstarch

Fruit Toppings

• Fresh raspberries
• Fresh Strawberries

Tools:

• Trifle Dish
• Electric mixer or Stand mixer

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (180 ºC). Adjust the oven rack to the lower middle position.

In a bowl of an electric mixer, beat the eggs, cream of tartar, sugar, and salt for about 3-5 minutes over medium-high speed. It should triple its volume and soft peaks form.

In a medium bowl sift and mix the flour with the baking powder.

Turn off the mixer and then add the flour mixture a few spoonfuls at a time and with a rubber spatula slowly fold in with soft movements until is well combined.

Pour batter into a prepared 8×8 inch pan and bake for about 15 minutes and make sure it is done by inserting a toothpick.

Let it cool on a cooling rack while you are making the cream.

In a medium saucepan, pour the condensed milk and egg yolk and mix.

In the condensed milk can mix the milk and the cornstarch well.

Pour it into the condensed milk and mix until well combined.

Bring to a simmer over low heat while constantly mixing with (a spoon or whisk) to avoid scorching until it’s thickened. It is supposed to be pretty thick.

Then put it away from heat until it cools completely.

Once the cake and the cream have cooled, cut the cake into small dices.

In a large bowl make a layer of cake pieces. Then add a layer of cream and then cover the cream with a layer of raspberries and strawberries. Ad as much as you like calculating well the layers you are planning on making.

Repeat cake, cream and finish with whole strawberries and raspberries to decorate.

Leave it on the fridge for a couple of hours covered with plastic wrap.

Serve and enjoy!!!

Variations and alternatives

Although I decided to make the cake from scratch, you can always buy the cake ready, plain pound cake, or use cake mix.

Alternatively, you can also use ladyfingers instead of cake but make sure you soak the ladyfinger slightly with milk or fruit juice, and even splash a little bit of your favorite spirit if no child will eat it.

You can use any fruit for this recipe, you can add more different berries of other fruits or replace them altogether with your favorite ones.

Instead of this cream, you can alternatively use your favorite custard, whipped cream,

Make in Advanced

Trifles taste even better when they have time to rest and allow the flavors to meld together. Prepare your trifle a day in advance and refrigerate it overnight covered with plastic wrap to let all the layers harmonize, resulting in a more cohesive and indulgent dessert experience.

Leftovers, Storing and Freezing

It’s rare to have any of this trifle left on the first day, but if it happens, wrap the bowl in plastic wrap sealing it as much as you can, or transfer it to an airtight container. It will be fresh in the fridge for up to 2 days.

You can make this cake ahead of time and freeze it for up to 3 months but not the assembled cake. The cream and the fruit might not thaw properly together.

You can then assemble the ingredients up to a day before serving.
