I absolutely adore this time of year. The lights, the shopping, the smells and the good eats in the kitchen are a small part of why I love the holidays.

Although this delicious trifle dessert recipe is incredibly easy, I found that slightly pressing down with even pressure during the cubed lemon cake layers made for layering a little easier. Remember to take your time! This strawberry trifle recipe is all about presentation.
Type of Bowl To Serve your Strawberry Trifle Recipe In
You can use just about any size trifle bowl, or a glass vase, a glass mixing bowl or even a glass salad bowl. The key to this strawberry trifle recipe is presentation, so you’ll want to make sure to use a glass vessel of some sort so you can see the layers!
