Easy Strawberry Trifle

1/4 cup Sugar, divided
2 pints Fresh strawberries, hulled, halved
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 cups Whipping cream
1 pound cake, purchased
Melted raspberry jelly, amount as desired

Fold 1/8 cup sugar into sliced berries; set aside. Beat the remaining 1/8 cup sugar into cream cheese. Whip cream until stiff peaks form, then fold cream cheese into cream. Cut cake into slices about 1/3" thick. Arrange a layer of slices in the bottom of a glass bowl; sprinkle with a teaspoon of sherry and drizzle with melted jelly, then add a layer of strawberries and a layer of cream. Continue layering, ending with a layer of cream.
Garnish with a whole berry or two.
