Light & Fluffy Cake and Strawberries Trifle Dessert

July 10, 2018 /

With it being summer and absolutely smouldering outside, a light and fluffy dessert is all I need. Ice cream, slushies, and sno cones are always a great go-to but what about something outside this list? Well, I decided to try out a quick and easy trifle recipe for the 4th of July. Let’s just say it was a hit with the entire family. It wasn’t too sweet and the cool whip layer gives it the extra fluffiness to make it that perfect dessert when things seem to not get cool enough! I went with a blue velvet cake for this trifle. This cake is so good! It must be the stick of butter needed with the cake mix. So good and moist!

You can of course go with any other cake mix, but this one goes so good with the cool whip and strawberry layer. No worry of it being too dry or crumbly. Plus it is a fun color! A few other options would be to add a little color to the cool whip with only 1-2 drops of food coloring. Not a fan of strawberries? Not a problem! Opt for another fruit. Just note that some fruits may be a little more ‘juicer’ and will change the texture of the trifle a little. I was even contemplating a fruit layer that consisted of strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries: yum!
