Steps:
- In a 13 x 9 cake pan, bake the cake as per the box instructions and then set it aside to cool for a bit. Using a knife, cut the baked cake into small cubes, about one inch in size.
- Take half of the cut cubes and place then in a trifle bowl, then use half of the strawberries and glaze to cover the cubes. Use the whipped cream topping spread over it.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the frosting for a half a minute to make it easy to pour. Be sure to stir it often. Let it cool down and then use half of the frosting mixture to cover the whipped cream topping.
- Continue to repeat the layers and use the remaining frosting to sprinkle over the top along with chocolate shavings for presentation.
Tips:
- Choose fresh and juicy lemons: The quality of the lemons you use will greatly impact the flavor of your trifle. Look for lemons that are heavy for their size, have a smooth, unblemished rind, and yield to gentle pressure.
- Zest and juice the lemons just before using: This will help to preserve the bright flavor and aroma of the lemons.
- Don't over-beat the cream: Over-beaten cream will become grainy and lose its light and fluffy texture. Beat the cream until it holds soft peaks, which means that it should be thick enough to hold its shape when you lift the beaters out of the bowl, but still soft enough to flow.
- Layer the trifle carefully: To ensure that each bite of your trifle is full of flavor, layer the ingredients carefully. Start with a layer of cake, then a layer of lemon curd, followed by a layer of whipped cream. Repeat the layers until you reach the top of the trifle dish.
- Chill the trifle before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and the trifle to set. Chill the trifle for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving.
Conclusion:
This easy lemon trifle is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its layers of moist cake, tangy lemon curd, and light and fluffy whipped cream, this trifle is sure to be a hit. Follow these tips to make the best lemon trifle possible, and enjoy!
