Instructions

Begin by preparing your cake. If using store-bought pound cake or sponge cake, cut it into cubes. You can also make your own cake from scratch and let it cool before cutting it into cubes.
In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
In a trifle dish or large glass bowl, start layering the trifle:
First, add a layer of cake cubes at the bottom.
Then, spoon a layer of lemon curd over the cake cubes.
Add a layer of fresh blueberries on top of the lemon curd.
Spread a generous layer of whipped cream over the blueberries.
Repeat the layers (cake, lemon curd, blueberries, whipped cream) until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of whipped cream on top.
Garnish the top of the trifle with additional fresh blueberries, lemon zest, and mint leaves for a vibrant and decorative touch.
Chill the trifle in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled and enjoy!

Notes

You can add other fruits like strawberries, raspberries, or blackberries for a mixed berry trifle.
Swap the pound cake for angel food cake, shortcake, or even a gluten-free option to suit dietary preferences.
Use a light lemon mousse instead of whipped cream for a richer, creamier texture.
Add a splash of limoncello or a fruity liqueur between the layers for an adult version.
