Lemon Berry Trifle

I had my girlfriends over for a spaghetti dinner tonight and some delicious, boozy trifle for dessert...

Start by making a lemon loaf and skip the glaze (the recipe is on my blog) and then slice it and arrange it around the bottom and sides of the trifle bowl, trimming as required. Then pour 1/2 cup of brandy and 1/2 cup of sherry over the cake. Cover with plastic wrap and let it soak up to 24 hours.


Wash a package of berries (I used blackberries) and place them over the cake.

I then made up 3 cups of instant lemon pudding mix (you can make homemade if you want) and spread it over the berries.

Top the pudding with washed raspberries...

Whip some cream (a couple of cups) with a tsp of vanilla and spread over the top...

Refrigerate for a couple of hours to firm up. You can do most of the work the day before and hours before your guests arrive. It is a really nice dessert and was enjoyed by all...

It's a little boozy so maybe not a good choice for kids but the girls sure enjoyed it...
