Bright strawberries and blueberries come together with Grand Marnier Cream to layer up with pound cake, creating an easy and elegant dessert worthy of being the centerpiece at any gathering.
Why try? By using prepared pound cake and making the strawberry syrup ahead, this trifle is very quick to pull together. If you want to make the whole thing a day early, the flavors in the trifle meld together to really taste indulgent while still looking elegant.
Foodie Byte: If you don’t have time to make this ahead, increase the strawberry syrup to 1 cup so that there’s enough berry flavor to soak into the cake cubes.
