Ingredients
Scale
Lemon Pound Cake:
- 1 prepared lemon pound cake, cubed
Lemon Curd:
- 2 cups lemon curd
Whipped Cream:
- 2 cups cold heavy whipping cream
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Additional:
- 2 cups fresh raspberries or sliced strawberries
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest (for garnish)
- Fresh mint leaves (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare Whipped Cream: In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
- Assemble Trifle: In a trifle dish or large glass bowl, layer one-third of the cubed pound cake, followed by a layer of lemon curd, a layer of whipped cream, and a layer of berries. Repeat the layers two more times, ending with whipped cream and a few berries on top.
