Frequently Asked Questions

What berries should I use?

I most enjoy using raspberries and blueberries for the trifles. That said, you can use any berry of your choosing (strawberries and blackberries are a great option).

How should I serve my miniature berry trifles?

Miniature berry trifles should be served in single-serve containers. You will want the vessel to be clear so you can see all of the beautiful layers. I recommend using a small drinking glass, juice cup, or a wine/rocks glass!

What's the best tip to making these as high-quality as possible?

My top tip is to follow the recipe exactly as is: be sure to make my homemade angel food cake + homemade whipped cream to complete the trifle!

Can I use a shortcut?

Absolutely! If you are looking for a no-cook option and/or are running short of time, you can absolutely substitute store-bought angel food cake + whipped cream to complete the trifles!

There are few recipes that are easier and more delicious than my miniature berry trifle! I recommend making the whipped cream and angel food cake from scratch; however, if you are short on time, store-bought will be just fine!

Equipment

  • Angel Food Cake Pan
  • Food Processor
  • Stand Mixer + Whisk Attachment

Ingredients
  

For The Angel Food Cake

  • 1 c. cake flour
  • 12 egg whites
  • 1.75 c. sugar
  • 1.5 tsp. cream of tartar
  • 2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • .5 tsp. almond extract
  • .5 tsp. salt

For The Whipped Cream

  • 2 c. heavy whipping cream
  • ⅓ c. powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp. vanilla extract

For The Trifle

  • 1 carton raspberries washed
  • 1 carton blueberries washed

Instructions
 

For The Angel Food Cake

  • Preheat oven to 350F.
  • Add sugar to a food processor. Pulse until super fine.
  • Sift together half of the total sugar, the cake flour, and the salt.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, use the whisk attachment to mix together the egg whites, vanilla extract, almond extract, and cream of tartar. Whisk on low and slowly work up the speed. After roughly 90 seconds, start slowly adding in the remaining sugar, only a little at a time.
  • After adding in all of the remaining sugar and achieving stiff peaks, fold in the dry ingredients in small increments.
  • Transfer batter to an ungreased angel food cake pan. Bake for roughly 40 minutes (note: you'll want to place the cake in the bottom part of the oven). At the end of baking, you'll want the top to be golden brown and the middle to pass the typical skewer test (it should come out clean).
  • Cool upside down on a cooling rack for 90 minutes – two hours. Remove angel food cake from the pan.

For The Whipped Cream

  • Add heavy whipping cream to the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment.
  • Add powdered sugar + vanilla extract. Whip on high speed for 3-5 minutes.
  • Whip until the cream forms soft peaks, as pictured, when the whisk is raised.

For The Trifle

  • In small, clear vessels (I like to use rocks/wine glasses), layer the whipped cream, angel food cake, and berries. Alternate use of each item. Serve and enjoy!
