directions

  • You will need a 6 quart trifle bowl or a punch bowl for this.
  • Slice 1 pound cake into 3 even layers.
  • Generously spread each layer with strawberry jam.
  • Arrange layers in the bottom of trifle bowl/punch bowl, cutting the pieces to fit the entire bottom.
  • Pour 1/2 cup liqueur over the cake.
  • Next, layer 1 pint of halved strawberries over the cake.
  • In a bowl, mix vanilla pudding and milk according to package directions.
  • Pour 1/3 of the pudding over strawberry layer.
  • Spread split lady fingers liberally with strawberry jam.
  • Stand the lady fingers around the edge of the bowl, so that 1-2 inches of the lady fingers are above the rim of the bowl.
  • Drizzle lady fingers with 1/2 cup of liqueur.
  • Repeat the layering procedure two more times, with the remaining pound cakes, strawberry halves, liqueur and vanilla pudding.
  • This should fill the bowl to about 1 inch of the top of the lady fingers.
  • Cover and refrigerate for about 1 hour.
  • Just before serving, whip cream until almost stiff.
  • Add powdered sugar and vanilla to cream and whip until stiff.
  • Mound whipped cream on top of the trifle, garnish with whole strawberries.
