Strawberry Shortcake Trifle

There are two things people think of when the word “trifle” comes up. Rachel Green making a beef trifle on FRIENDS and how hard it is to make. I’m here to tell you that making a trifle is actually a simple dessert that can be made in so many ways. In winter, it’s a cranberry trifle and in summer, it’s this sweet strawberry shortcake trifle.

Strawberry Shortcake Trifle Ingredients –
  • 2 cups cake flour (MUST be cake flour)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups heavy cream (I use an organic cream and it’s AH-MAZING)
Fruit –
  • 2 pounds sliced strawberries
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • Another 2 tablespoons of lemon juice
Whipped Cream Ingredients –
  • 3 cups cold heavy whipping cream
  • 6 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Lets get to baking this strawberry shortcake trifle!
  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Spray or grease an 8-inch round pan and set aside. In a medium bowl stir together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt. Add in the 2 cups of heavy cream and stir till the mixture is combined. At this point, this mixture is STICKY. Don’t fret, you’re doing it right!
  2. Pour mix into the round pan and bake for 20-25 minutes. I check on it constantly. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
  3. In a medium sized bowl, add strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice and stir to combine. Set aside.
  4. Now it’s time to make the whipped cream! In a bowl or stand alone mixer, beat the cold whipping cream until soft peaks form. Add in the powdered sugar and vanilla and beat another 1-2 minutes.
  5. Once the shortcake has cooled prepare to assemble the trifle. This is the fun part! Begin with a bottom layer of crumbled shortcake on the followed by a layer of cream, then strawberries. Repeat layers until ingredients run out. Cover and store in the fridge until ready to serve. When assembling, just take your time! Make sure you are gentle when adding the cream to the top of the shortcake so you don’t pull up the crumbs. To really get the layers, focus on the sides and making them tall!

Bon appétit!
