Quick Strawberry Chocolate Trifle - Step by step

      When we have lot of unused cake crumbs or cakes, we can prepare this trifle in no matter of time. I had some vanilla sponge cake slices. I wanted to use it . So prepared this trifle. The layers can be altered according to our taste and ingredients handy. Rohith likes chocolate in any form, so prepared some chocolate glaze and toppied with whipped cream and strawberry. We can also use, sprinkles, nuts or even ice cream. We can prepare these trifles in individual servings  ahead of time and impress our guests. Sure this will  be a kid's favourite. Linking this to Priya's "Let's do brunch " event.

  

 

 

Preparation time             :        15 mins

Yield                                 :        1 serving

 

 Ingredients:

1.Vanilla cake                      -          few pieces

2.Strawberries                      -          2

3.Whipped cream                 -          1/4 cup

4.Chocolate chips                 -          3 tbsp.

5.Butter                                 -          1 tbsp.

6.Corn syrup                         -           1 tbsp. (optional)

 

 

 

 

Method:

Take a serving glass, layer it with the cake pieces. We can either use vanilla cake or chocolate cake. If we are going to use chocolate cake, then we can reduce the amount of   chocolate glaze.

 



 

Take a microwave safe bowl, add chocolate chips butter and corn syrup. Microwave it for 30 - 45 sec. The reason for adding corn syrup is ,just it gives a glossy texture to the syrup. If you don't have corn syrup, just ignore it. Spoon the syrup over the cake very well. It makes the cake to bind and form a base.

 

 

Now spread the whipped cream on top of the chocolate glaze. It should cover all the chocolate layer.

Now slice the strawberries into thin slices. We can either arrange them flat ,but to get a good view from outside the glass, I arranged the strawberry slices vertically, around the glass.

 

Now repeat the layering of cake, chocolate glaze and whipped cream, topped with strawberry again. Instead of adding the chocolate glaze on top of the whipped cream, I just added chocolate glaze drop by drop and used a toothpick to give it a marbled effect. Now take another strawberry ,cut them thinly and keep on top of the trife as a topping. We can either have it as such or ,can chill the trifle and serve.
