Equipment

  • Trifle dish or individual serving cups

Ingredients
  

Cake

  • 1 pound cake or sponge cake, cubed store-bought or homemade

Fruit

  • 2 cups fresh blueberries

Whipped Cream

  • 1.5 cups heavy cream
  • 0.25 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Lemon Layer

  • 1 cup lemon curd store-bought or homemade
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form, creating a light and fluffy whipped cream.
  • Place a portion of cubed pound cake at the bottom of a trifle dish or individual serving cups to form the first layer.
  • Spoon a generous layer of lemon curd evenly over the cake cubes, adding a tangy contrast to the sweetness of the cake.
  • Spread a layer of whipped cream smoothly over the lemon curd to balance the tartness.
  • Sprinkle a layer of fresh blueberries on top of the whipped cream to add freshness and texture.
  • Repeat the layering process—cake, lemon curd, whipped cream, and blueberries—until all ingredients are used, finishing with a top layer of whipped cream.
  • Garnish the top with additional blueberries and sprinkle lemon zest over the final whipped cream layer. Refrigerate the assembled trifle for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld and the dessert to set before serving.

Notes

Use homemade lemon curd for a fresher taste or store-bought for convenience. For a lighter option, substitute whipped cream with whipped coconut cream to make it dairy-free. Ensure the cake cubes are not too dense to soak up the lemon curd and cream nicely. This trifle can be assembled a day ahead and refrigerated for optimal flavor.
