Decadent Trifle Recipe with From-Scratch Sponge Cake and Fruit

Ingredients

For the sponge

  • 1 cup All purpose flour
  • ½ cup Caster sugar
  • 2 Eggs
  • ½ cup Milk
  • 1 tsp Baking powder
  • ½ cup Unsalted butter
  • ¼ tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract

For the assembly

  • 1 cup Whipped cream
  • 1 cup Chopped fruits of your choice
  • ¼ cup Caster sugar
  • 1 tsp Lemon juice

Instructions

For the sponge

  • Put the eggs and sugar in a mixing bowl, and whisk it until it is light, pale, and fluffy.
  • In a separate bowl, mix in all the remaining ingredients thoroughly.
  • Now very gently, mix the batter with the whipped egg and sugar mixture, folding just until everything is combined.
  • Pour this in a greased and lined 9 x 13 cake pan, and bake it in a preheated 350 degree oven for around 15-20 minutes, or until the top turns golden and a skewer inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool completely.

For the assembly

  • To macerate the fruits, put the chopped fruits into a bowl, and add the sugar and lemon juice. Mix it gently until evenly mixed. Let this sit for five minutes.
  • Cut the sponge cake into pieces, and put an even layer of the sponge at the bottom of the jar/dish.
  • Now add some whipped cream and spread it evenly on top of the sponge layer.
  • Top the cream with a layer of macerated fruits.
  • Now repeat this same process, one layer of the sponge, macerated fruits, and top it up with some cream.
  • Let it cool in the refrigerator for a couple of hours before serving.
