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!
Tips For Very Berry Vanilla Cake Trifle

- You can bake your cake 2 days ahead of time to save time day of serving.
- Use a clear, clean trifle dish to serve. Makes dessert look gorgeous.
