This is similar to my Thanksgiving trifle, but better. Instead of store bought pound cake, I used my home made pound cake. (And lucky me I had a whole extra pound cake left over!) I know I said that store bought pound cake was fine for trifles, and it is, but wow homemade pound cake is really good! I layered the cake with raspberry jam, sliced strawberries and homemade chocolate mousse (the type made with whipped cream and melted chocolate, rather than the egg based type). The trifle dish fit three layers of cake/jam/berries/mousse. I just piped some whipped cream dollops on top and topped the dollops with strawberries.
Hi, I'm Chef Mercedes. I'm a graduate of the French Culinary Institute/International Culinary Center's classic pastry arts program. Currently I do not work in the food industry so I use this blog to share my love of eating and passion for baking with the world. I hope you’ll enjoy what I have to share about baking and that I’ll inspire you to bake as well.
