Strawberry Shortcake and Graduation

I graduated! I now have a two bachelors' degrees, one in Public Relations and one in French.

In celebration, here is a recipe for Strawberry Shortcake Trifle (aka regular strawberry shortcake that I chunked up in layers so it would be fancy.) 

Enjoy.

Strawberry Shortcake (Trifle)

CAKE:

• Pound Cake cake mix
• ingredients called for on box
• 1 TBS extra butter, sfotened
• 1 TBS sour cream

Make according to box directions, but add in extra butter and sour cream with ingredients.

GLAZE:

• my recipe for "the best strawberry glaze ever", found here

WHIPPED CREAM:

• 2 cups heavy whipping cream
• 2 TBS sugar

With an electric mixer, whip cream and sugar together until soft peaks form.

TOPPINGS:

• 12 smallish strawberries, sliced
• 1 Tbs sugar

Slice strawberries and set in a bowl. Add sugar and combine. The longer this sits together, the more juice you will have.

TO TRIFLE IT:

Cut up the pound cake in square chunks, about 1 inch x 1 inch. Layer cake, glaze, whipped cream and strawberries in that order. At the top of the glass/cup/bowl/whatever, top with more whipped cream. Serve and devour.
