Notes
- Freeze the angel food cake before cubing to keep it intact as you cut it and layer it.
- Add other types of berries or fruit along with strawberries. Try blackberries, blueberries, peaches, bananas, or raspberries.
- While a trifle bowl looks lovely, you can use any clear glass bowl (or even a 9×13 pan) to layer the ingredients.
- Swap out the angel food cake for a pound cake to make this into a strawberry shortcake trifle.
- Trifle will last in the fridge for a few days but the cake might sink down a bit as it rests. Top it off with additional whipped cream to serve.
