Instructions:

  1. Begin by preparing the sponge cake. In a mixing bowl, beat the egg yolks and lemon juice until they achieve a pale consistency. Add 3/4 cup of sugar and continue beating until well incorporated.

  2. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites, adding salt and the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar, until they form stiff peaks. Gently fold 1/4 of the beaten egg whites into the yolk mixture. Carefully incorporate the rest of the egg whites into the yolk mixture.

  3. Sift the all-purpose flour over the batter and fold in the melted butter until the ingredients are thoroughly blended.

  4. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Pour the batter into a tube pan and bake for approximately 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Once baked, invert the cake and allow it to cool.

  5. In a clear glass serving bowl, spoon approximately 1/3 of the whipping cream to form the first layer.

  6. Continue layering with 1 cup of fruit cocktail, followed by a layer of sliced bananas, then 1 cup of pureed strawberries, and finally half of the sponge cake cut into cubes.

  7. Pour 1 cup of Sherry wine over the sponge cake cubes, allowing the rich flavor to infuse into the layers.

  8. Add another layer with 1/3 of the whipping cream, and repeat the process with alternate layers of fruit cocktail, banana slices, strawberry puree, and sponge cake cubes soaked in Sherry wine.

  9. For the final touch, top the trifle with the remaining whipped cream and garnish with whole berries, creating a visually appealing and mouthwatering masterpiece.

This English Sherry Trifle embodies the essence of a classic dessert, blending the richness of Sherry wine with the freshness of strawberries and the lightness of sponge cake. Whether you’re hosting a dinner party or simply treating yourself, this trifle is sure to leave a lasting impression. Elegant, easy, and irresistibly delicious, it’s a recipe worth savoring. Enjoy the layers of indulgence in every spoonful!
