- 1 Hot Milk Sponge Cake (recipe attached)
- ½ cup granulated sugar (100g)
- ¼ cup cornstarch
- ¼ tsp. salt
- 2½ cups whole milk
- 5 large egg yolks
- 3 tbsp. unsalted butter
- 2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 quart strawberries, sliced plus one tablespoon of sugar
- 2 cups heavy cream plus four teaspoons of sugar
First, make the Hot Milk Sponge Cake and let it cool. When it's cooled cut out rounds to fit your trifle cups. Place one round in each cup.
Next, make the Vanilla Cream: In a three quart saucepan whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Slowly whisk in the milk. Then, whisk in the eggs. Whisking constantly, cook over low heat, until the mixture comes to a simmer. Cook for one minute. Remove it from the heat and add the butter and vanilla. Set aside to cool.
Next, mix the strawberries with the sugar. Set aside.
Then, in an electric mixer, beat the heavy cream and sugar together, until it's whipped together.
Top each cake round with a spoonful of berries and some Vanilla Cream. Top each trifle off with some whipped cream.
