Trifles are super easy to make, all you have to do is make a red velvet roll, cut it into smaller rolls, then layer all the ingredients and they come together beautifully in any jar, clear bowl or mason jar!

How to prepare the Red Velvet Trifle Cups

First you need to make the red velvet cake roll. Start by mixing together the sugar and butter, then add the oil, vanilla, egg, and red food coloring. Start with just 1 teaspoon of food coloring, you can add a little more at the end if you want it more intense. Note that the color will intensify as it bakes. Then fold in all the dry ingredients alternately with the buttermilk. Finally, beat the egg whites with a fork and fold into the batter. This gives the cake a velvety touch.

While the cake is in the oven, you can prepare the cream cheese frosting and berry jam.

For the sauce, just bring the fruit and sugar to the boil, let it cook for 3 minutes and you’re done. You can simply substitute raspberries or blueberries for the mixed berries, whichever you like best.

For the cream cheese frosting, all you have to do is mix all the ingredients together until stiff peaks form, and then you can start assembling the dessert.

While the cake is still hot, carefully trim the edges to neaten it. Take a kitchen towel and spray water over it until slightly wet. This will help the cake not stick to the towel and will also help the cake cool faster. Turn the cake over the towel and remove the parchment paper. Roll the cake in the towel while it is still hot. You have to do it while it’s still hot or it will break, so be careful. Leave to cool completely. Unroll the cake and spread a very thin layer of cream cheese frosting, then roll the cake back up. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before slicing.

How to assemble the trifle cups

In the glass containers of your choice, fill a third of the jar with frosting, then cut the cake roll into small pieces about 1cm thick and place them over the frosting in the jars, touching the sides of the glasses. Pour the berry sauce over the buns. Then finish with the remaining cream cheese frosting. Decorate with fresh fruit.

instructions

Prepare berry sauce.

• Bring berries and sugar to a boil in a medium saucepan, simmer for 3 minutes and remove from heat. Cool to room temperature.

Prepare the red velvet cake roll.

• Preheat the oven to 350F (180C). Grease an 20 x 23 cm baking sheet and line with parchment paper.

• Beat together the butter and sugar on medium-high speed until combined.

• Add the oil, egg and vanilla extract and beat on high for 2 minutes.

• Stir in desired amount of food coloring until well combined. I used 1 teaspoon red gel food coloring.

• Whisk together the flour, baking soda, cocoa powder, and salt in a bowl.

• With the mixer on low speed, add the dry ingredients in 2-3 batches, alternating with the buttermilk.

• Lightly beat the egg whites with a fork, then fold into the cake batter.

• Pour the batter onto the prepared baking sheet and spread evenly.

• Bake for about 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

• While the cake is still hot, carefully trim the edges to neaten it.

• Take a kitchen towel and spray water on it. Turn the cake over the wet towel and remove the parchment paper. Roll the cake in the towel while it is still hot. Leave to cool to room temperature.

Prepare the cream cheese frosting.

• In a bowl, beat all ingredients until stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes. Keep it in the fridge until you assemble the dessert.

• Unroll the cake and spread a very thin layer of cream cheese filling evenly over the cake, about 5 tbsp (70 g).

• Roll up the cake again. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Assemble the trifle cups.

• I have 2 large 14 fl.oz. (400 ml) wine glasses. However, you can easily adapt it to fit smaller glasses or mugs. At the bottom of your trifle bowl, add a generous layer of cream cheese frosting, about 1/3 cup (70g) per glass.

• Cut the red velvet cream cheese rolls into 1 cm thick slices. Arrange on the cream cheese in the glasses. Try to glue the rolls to the glass walls. About 4-5 slices of bun per jar, it depends on your jar size.

• Using a tablespoon, simply pour the sauce over the cake rolls. 4-5 tbsp (70g)/glass is enough to just cover the rolls and drizzle in between.

• Fill the remaining cream cheese frosting into a piping bag and pipe evenly onto the cake rolls.

• Garnish with fresh berries. Enjoy!
