Instructions

In a large bowl, gently toss the berries with powdered sugar and vanilla extract if using.
In individual serving glasses or a trifle dish, layer cubes of cake, a layer of whipped cream, and a mix of berries.
Repeat the layers until the containers are full, finishing with a dollop of whipped cream and extra berries on top for decoration.
Chill for 15–30 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use store-bought cake and whipped topping for a quick and easy version.
Can be made in mason jars for a portable dessert option.
Try adding a drizzle of berry syrup or a sprinkle of crushed graham crackers for extra flavor and texture.
