🍓 Prepare the Fruits: Combine the frozen blueberries and raspberries, reserving a small amount for garnish. This vibrant mix will infuse your trifle with a burst of fruity goodness.
-
🍰 Layer the Cake: In a trifle dish, spread approximately half of the lemon cake into the bottom. It’s the foundation of your sweet creation, providing a soft and moist base for the layers to come.

🍇 Fruity Delight: Add a layer of half the combined fruits on top of the cake, creating a medley of colors and flavors that will dance on your taste buds.
-
🍮 Pudding Layer: Follow with a layer of half the lemon pudding, introducing a creamy and citrusy component to the ensemble.
-
🔄 Repeat the Layers: Repeat the cake layer, fruit layer, and pudding layer to build a symphony of textures and tastes. Each layer adds a unique dimension to your trifle.
-
🌬️ Cool Whip Crown: Top your creation with a generous layer of Cool Whip, creating a cloud of sweetness that crowns your trifle with a delightful finish.
-
🎨 Garnish: Sprinkle the reserved fruits on top for a visually appealing and palate-pleasing garnish. Let the colors of the berries shine through.
Lemonade Cake:
-
🔥 Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 300°F. Grease and flour a Bundt pan, ensuring your cake releases effortlessly after baking.
-
🍋 Jello Infusion: Dissolve the lemon Jello in hot water and set it aside, allowing it to remain in a liquid state without forming a gel.
-
🥄 Cake Mix Magic: In a large bowl, mix the lemon cake mix, eggs, oil, and frozen lemonade concentrate. Beat this delightful concoction together for 3 minutes until it’s smooth and well combined.
-
🍰 Baking Bliss: Turn the batter into the prepared Bundt pan and bake for approximately 1 hour or until a knife inserted comes out clean, revealing a perfectly baked lemony cake.
-
🍹 Lemonade Bath: While the cake is baking, mix the sugar and remaining frozen lemonade concentrate, letting it sit. Once the cake is warm, loosen it from the pan edges but leave it in the pan.
-
🚿 Lemonade Shower: Pour the lemonade mixture over the cake, allowing it to cascade down the sides, infusing the cake with a tangy and sweet lemony essence.
-
🎂 Divine Finish: When turning the cake out onto a rack, place wax paper underneath and pour the saved lemonade mixture over the top. This final touch transforms your cake into a divine dessert experience.
