Recipe: Trifle

Hi: Calimaroo:
Here in the U.S. we use a shortened version called Strawberry Short Cake .
Which is a sponge cake covered with berries, topped with whipped cream and/or Ice Cream. We also use what we call: A biscuit or bisquit (a sort of bread not what the British refer to as a U.S. 'cracker' or 'cookie')
The following recipe is one that I have, I hope you find one that you like, out of all of the responses from TKL -- Nice recipe site - Don't You Think?! ]

Trifle:
1 baked White Cake of your choice.

1/4 cup Almonds, toasted and slivered
Fresh Strawberries
INSTRUCTIONS:
Bake the cake in an oblong pan as directed, let it cool.
Cut crosswise in half - (reserve 1/2 for another dessert)
