Ingredients
  

For the Cake

  • 1 pack store-bought angel food cake

For the Lemon Mixture

  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest
  • 2 tbsp honey

For the Cream Layer

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Berries

  • 2 cups fresh strawberries hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries optional

For the Garnish

  • 1/4 cup mint leaves optional

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Slice the angel food cake into 3/4-inch thick slices.
  • Whisk together lemon juice, lemon zest, and honey in a small mixing bowl until well blended. Brush this zesty mixture over both sides of the angel food cake slices.
  • Cube the angel food cake slices into 3/4-inch pieces and set aside.
  • Whip the heavy cream in a large mixing bowl with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until slightly thickened. Then, increase the speed to high and whip until very stiff peaks form.
  • Blend cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a separate large mixing bowl on low speed until combined. Switch to high speed and whip until light and fluffy.
  • Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula until evenly combined.

Assembly

  • Layer half of the angel food cake pieces into the bottom of a trifle dish.
  • Sprinkle half of the blueberries over this cake layer.
  • Spread half of the whipped cream mixture over the blueberries and cake, then add half of the sliced strawberries on top.
  • Repeat this layering process with the remaining ingredients.
  • Top your masterpiece with the reserved blueberries and fresh raspberries in the center.
  • Serve chilled for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

Allow your assembled trifle to chill for a bit - this helps the flavors to meld beautifully.
