Ingredients

Butter Cake

  • 2 sticks Unsalted Butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 tsps Vanilla Extract
  • 2 tbsps Whole Milk
  • 1 ½ cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 ½ tsp Baking Powder
  • ¼ tsp Kosher Salt

Mixed Berries

  • 1 cup Blackberries
  • 2 cups Blueberries
  • 2 cups Raspberries
  • 2 cups Strawberries, sliced
  • ¼ cup Sugar
  • 1 Lemon, juiced

Whipped Cream

  • 2 ½ cups Heavy Whipping Cream, cold
  • ½ cup Sugar
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees °F.
  • In a large bowl or stand mixer with the whisk attachment, beat room temperature butter and sugar together until fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating each egg into the mixture before adding another. Add vanilla extract and milk and continue to mix until fully incorporated.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, and kosher salt. Add to wet ingredients and fold together with a mixing spoon or silicone spatula until flour is fully incorporated. Spray a 9x5 loaf pan with oil and coat with flour. Add cake batter and bake for 1 hour to 1 hour and 10 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • While cake is baking, combine blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries in a large bowl. Add juice from one squeezed lemon and sugar. Mix together and chill in the refrigerator while cake is baking.
  • Allow cake to cool completely. Slice cake and cut into cubes.
  • To make the whipped cream, add cold heavy whipping cream, sugar, and vanilla extract to a stand mixer with the whisk attachment or a large bowl using a hand mixer. Beat on medium high until stiff peaks form, about 2-2 ½ minutes. Be sure not to over mix.
  • Assemble the trifle by adding a layer of berries, then a layer of whipped cream, and then cake. Add more berries and whipped cream on top. Garnish with mint.

Notes

  • You can use store bought cake, however, I highly recommend making this butter cake. It's so good!
