How to Make Bagatelle French Canadian Trifle
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake a 9-inch white cake according to package directions or your favorite recipe.
- While the cake is baking, prepare the custard: In a medium saucepan, whisk together 4 large egg yolks, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup cornstarch, and a pinch of salt.
- Gradually whisk in 2 cups of whole milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the custard thickens and comes to a simmer. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Pour the custard into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming, and refrigerate until completely chilled.
- Once the cake is cool, crumble it into bite-sized pieces.
- Hull and slice 2 cups of fresh strawberries.
- Assemble the trifle in a large glass bowl or trifle dish: Layer half of the cake, half of the strawberries, and half of the chilled custard. Repeat layers.
- Drizzle the top with 2 tablespoons of Marsala wine (optional).
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow flavors to meld and the trifle to set.
- Garnish with fresh berries and a dusting of powdered sugar before serving (optional).
