Ingredients
3 cups fresh or thawed blueberries
1 1/2 cups lemon curd (homemade or store-bought)
4 cups cubed pound cake, angel food cake, or sponge cake
2 cups whipped cream (homemade or whipped topping)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Lemon zest, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Cube the cake into bite-sized pieces and layer them in the bottom of a trifle dish or large clear bowl.
- Spoon a generous layer of lemon curd over the cake cubes, allowing it to soak slightly.
- Evenly scatter a layer of blueberries on top of the curd.
- Spread a thick layer of whipped cream over the blueberries.
- Repeat the layering: cake, lemon curd, blueberries, whipped cream—until you reach the top.
- Finish with a final layer of whipped cream and garnish with lemon zest and a few extra blueberries or mint sprigs, if desired.
- Chill for at least 1 hour before serving to allow flavors to meld and the cake to soften.
Notes
Use raspberries or strawberries in place of blueberries for variation.
Swirl in vanilla pudding or custard with lemon curd for a richer dessert.
Assemble in individual glasses for easy portioning.
Fold lemon zest into whipped cream for extra citrus flavor.
Drizzle with blueberry compote instead of fresh berries for added sweetness and visual appeal.
