Very Berry Vanilla Cake Trifle Recipe
You are in for such a treat with my Very Berry Vanilla Cake Trifle recipe! Summer is such a great time to entertain. You’ll generally find us around the pool with friends daily enjoying great meals together. I put together a beautiful summer trifle that’s super easy to make. Gorgeous berries layered with sweet whipped cream and soft vanilla cake pieces make for a delicious dessert to serve all summer long.
The definition of a trifle is a cold dessert of sponge cake and fruit covered with layers of custard, jelly, and cream.

Ingredients You’ll Need For This Trifle
One of my favorite vanilla yellow cake recipes is so simple to prepare.
Add your oil and milk to your bowl.
Sour cream, pudding mix and eggs up next. Stir until well combined.
Pour batter evenly between two 8-inch cake pans.
Time to bake! Yassss!
Remove from oven and let cool. As a time saving tip, bake your cakes up to 3 days in advance. Cover tightly and store in refrigerator until ready to bake.
Always Wash Your Fruit!
Make sure your strawberries are washed and dry. Remove stems and slice.
Wash and dry your vibrant raspberries.
Same with your blueberries.
How to Assemble Your Very Berry Vanilla Cake Trifle
Once your cakes are cool, cut into cubes and layer the first layer into the bottom of your trifle bowl.
Whipped cream up next!
Layer some berries over your whipped cream then another layer of cake.
Top with more whipped cream and berries for the top layer. Get creative and decorate the berries however you’d like.
Such a beautiful dessert!

This is so pretty and perfect for summer. I do wish I had a wall oven, a double one like this. I am always putting my one big oven to the test, I bake so much!
LOVE the adjustable shelves in the fridge! Totally comes in handy for trifles like this!!
Simply beautiful! Perfect for the holiday weekend!
I’m loving your new kitchen!! Those appliances look so gorgeous! Speaking of gorgeous, can we talk about this trifle?! So pretty and perfect for summer!

What a stunning dessert. Perfect for the 4th of July!
Totally making this trifle cake for the 4th!
Oh my gosh, those wall ovens, I must have them. Those are gorgeous. A friend of mine has their products and I love cooking at her house.
This trifle is making me want to run into my kitchen and whip one up immediately. So pretty, and let’s face it, pretty food just tastes better.
i wonder if the layering effect comes from “over creaming” as described here http://blog.kingarthurflour.com/2014/07/15/how-to-prevent-dense-gluey-streaks-in-your-cake/ if so it could be tricky to get the 3 layers. I’m not a fan of the “fudgy” layer, but cool effect regardless.
So nice and easy and so good! Love all of the berries!
This cake is perfect for the upcoming holiday weekend! Delish!
