Trifle OR an Alternative to Broken Cake!!!!

TRIFLE you saved me!!!!

     I always try to experiment, but sometimes mistakes happen.

 

This time I wanted to bake a chocolate cake in a spring form pan and then use a thin layer of it to make a frozen cheesecake.

 

 

So my Brain was only thinking about will it be a success to make this or will the base cake layer in the cheesecake get soggy.

 

 

Finally I ended up putting the batter in the spring form pan without lining it with a parchment paper or a foil. That would do the trick. But this time the destiny of the cake was in a Trifle!

 

 

So after the baking time, out came the cake from the oven, sat a while for cooling on the cooling rack, then successfully opened the spring form edge.

 

 

Now I try to slide the cake from the pan base, but I see there is such a great bonding these two have developed in the oven  :)

 

When I try to get the cake out of the pan.......

Tadaaa!

 

Disaster for me.....  :(

 

The cake breaks with the base still clinging to its better half.

 

Oh NOOO!

 

I had to make a dessert for dinner.

Checked the stock in the refrigerator and found a variety of fruits.

So here now ready to make a TRIFLE.

 

Ingredients:

 

Cake

Fruit syrup like Orange, Pineapple

Fruits of your Choice, cut in slices - Strawberry, Blueberry, Tangerine, Grapes, Pomegranate

Pie filling of Cherry

Whipped cream

vanilla Custard

 

(The amounts depend upon the size of the bowl you choose to make the trifle in. )

 

Method:

 

    Cut Strawberry slices lenghtwise.

 

    Deseed the Pomegranate.

 

    Line the base of the bowl with slices of Cake.

 

   Now if you want to make the trifle more presentable, arrange the strawberry slices around the edges near the cake and push the cake so the strawberry slices do not fall.

( I skipped this part, since I was out of time)

 

Now drizzle some juice over the slices so it gets a little soft. If your cake is soft use less, since we are yet to use the custard and the cherry with its syrup.

 

   Add a layer of Custard.

 

    Add a layer of the Cherry pie filling

 

    Add a layer of Tangerine or Orange

 

    Continue with all the other fruits You have Chosen

 

   Now add a layer of the whipped cream or you can add another layer of ice cream and then add  whipped cream

 

   Sprinkle pomegranate seeds.

 

   Continue the process by repeating from the cake layer again

 

    You can make as many such layers till you reach the height of the bowl.

Refrigerate for 2-3 hours till chilled and the taste mellows down through all the layers.
But if you are using this dessert for the next day then do not use pomegranate seeds until You serve else they wither quickly and don't remain fresh and crunchy.

 

 

 

 

  
You can even make this in individual serving glasses, or jars if you know the exact servings at the table. Easy serving you see.

Whatever it is from a :(    it is always and will be     :)
