Blackberry and Ginger Trifle image

Leftover homemade pound cake works well with this recipe. You will need about a third of the cake (about 6 cups of cubes).

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 piece fresh ginger (3 inches long), peeled and roughly chopped
3/4 cup sugar
1 store-bought pound cake (12 to 16 ounces)
2 cups cold heavy cream
2 packages (6 ounces each) fresh blackberries

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan, combine ginger, 1/2 cup of the sugar, and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a boil, and stir until sugar dissolves. Cover pan and remove from heat; set aside to steep, at least 20 minutes and up to 1 hour. (The longer the syrup steeps, the stronger the ginger flavor will be.)
  • With a serrated knife, cut pound cake into 1-inch-thick slices; lay slices on a piece of waxed paper (for easier cleanup). With a brush, dab slices on both sides with syrup, leaving chopped ginger behind; use all the syrup. Cut slices into cubes.
  • Whip cream with remaining 1/4 cup sugar until soft peaks form. In alternating layers, arrange cake cubes, whipped cream, and blackberries in 8 serving glasses or dishes (or one large, deep serving dish, preferably glass). Chill until ready to serve, at least 30 minutes and up to overnight.

I'm allergic to ginger, so I omitted it from the recipe. The trifle was still very good.

I had trouble finding fresh blackberries, so I used frozen ones instead. The trifle still turned out great!

This trifle is a great make-ahead dessert. I made it the night before my party, and it was even better the next day. The flavors had time to really meld together.
