Ingredients

For the Cake:

  • 1 c. butter
  • 1 1/2 c. sugar
  • 2 c. flour
  • 1 c. almond flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 c. milk
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 5 egg whites reserve yolks for lemon curd

Lemon Whipped Frosting:

  • 1 container frozen whipped topping thawed on a counter for 30 minutes
  • 1-2 c. powdered sugar
  • 3 Tablespoons lemon curd

For decorating:

  • 2 c. blueberries

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray two 9 inch cake pans with cooking spray and place a circle of parchment paper on the bottoms. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl cream the butter and sugar until smooth.
  • In a medium bowl combine the flour, almond flour, salt, and baking powder.
  • Add 1/3 of the flour mixture to the butter mixture and mix well. Add in half the milk and stir to combine. Mix in 1/3 of the flour mixture and mix well. Add in remaining milk and mix to combine. Stir in remaining flour and mix until incorporated. Stir in the almond extract and set aside.
  • Place the egg whites in a large, chilled bowl along with 1 tablespoon sugar. Beat the egg whites on high until stiff peaks form, about 4-5 minutes.
  • Gently fold the egg whites into the cake batter. Pour into prepared pans.
  • Bake for 27-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in pans for 10 minutes then remove to a wire rack.
  • To make the whipped frosting place the whipped topping, 1 cup powdered sugar, and lemon curd in a bowl. Beat with a mixer on medium speed until combined. Add additional powdered sugar until desired consistency is reached. Set aside.
  • Cut the cakes into 1 inch cubes.
  • To make the trifle place a layer of cake cubes in the bottom of a glass trifle bowl or glass bowl. Place 1/3 of the lemon curd on top of the cake cubes, then sprinkle with 1/2 cup of blueberries. Layer 1/3 of the whipped frosting over top. Repeat the layers one more time.
  • On the final layer, place the cake cubes in a single layer. Spread the remaining whipped topping on top of the cake cubes, putting large dollops around the edge if desired. Place a blueberry on top of each dollop. Then decorate with lemon curd dots as desired.
  • Place the trifle in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
