Ingredients in this Plum Torte:
- 1 store-bought angel food cake (about 10 inches), cut into cubes
- 2 pints fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups vanilla pudding (homemade or ready-made)
- 1 cup heavy cream, whipped to soft peaks
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Mint leaves, for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Strawberries: In a medium bowl, combine sliced strawberries and granulated sugar. Set aside for about 20 minutes, allowing the strawberries to release their natural juices.
- Layer the Trifle: In a large glass trifle bowl, place a layer of angel cake cubes at the bottom. Spoon about one-third of the sugared strawberries over the cake, then cover with a layer of vanilla pudding.
- Repeat the Layers: Continue layering with cake, strawberries, and pudding until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of pudding.
- Add the Whipped Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with vanilla extract until it reaches soft peaks. Spread the whipped cream over the top layer of pudding.
- Garnish and Chill: Garnish the top with a few strawberry slices and mint leaves if desired. Refrigerate the trifle for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the cake to soak up the juices and pudding.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve this divine trifle chilled. It’s perfect for serving at parties or after a family dinner. The layers of light angel cake, creamy pudding, and sweet strawberries combine to create a dessert that's as delicious as it is beautiful.
Tips for the Perfect Trifle:
Cake Choice: Angel food cake is ideal for trifles because it absorbs the fruit juices and pudding well without becoming too soggy. Pudding Options: Feel free to experiment with different flavors of pudding such as strawberry or cheesecake to match the theme of your dessert. Freshness Counts: Use the freshest strawberries you can find for the best flavor and appearance. Make Ahead: Assembling the trifle a day in advance will enhance its flavors and give the cake ample time to soften. This Strawberry Angel Cake Pudding Trifle not only looks spectacular but is also incredibly easy to make. It’s sure to become a favorite at your dessert table, delighting guests with its light, refreshing flavors and exquisite layers.
