Ingredients

Units Scale

Angel Food Cake:

  • 1 prepared angel food cake (store-bought or homemade), cut into 1-inch cubes

Blueberry Layer:

  • 2 cups fresh blueberries (plus extra for garnish)

Lemon Cream:

  • 1 cup lemon curd
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • zest of 1 lemon (optional for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Whipped Cream: In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
  2. Make Lemon Cream: In a separate bowl, gently fold together the lemon curd and half of the whipped cream until smooth.
  3. Assemble Trifle: In a trifle dish or glass bowl, layer one-third of the cake cubes, followed by one-third of the lemon mixture, then one-third of the blueberries. Repeat layers two more times. Top with the remaining whipped cream and garnish with fresh blueberries and lemon zest. Chill for at least 2 hours before serving to allow flavors to meld.

Notes

  • You can substitute pound cake or sponge cake for the angel food cake if desired.
  • Frozen blueberries can be used if fresh ones are not available—just thaw and drain them first.
