How to Make Banana Trifle
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) if baking your own cake. Otherwise, use store-bought stale cake or toast slices of cake in a low oven (250°F/120°C) for about an hour.
- If baking, prepare your favorite cake mix according to package directions, using about half the recipe. Let the cake cool completely and slice into 1-inch thick pieces.
- In a large bowl, gently combine the yogurt, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
- In a trifle bowl or individual serving glasses, layer the ingredients as follows: Start with a layer of cake, followed by a layer of sliced bananas, then a layer of yogurt mixture. Repeat the layers, ending with a layer of yogurt mixture.
- Cover the trifle and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to blend and the cake to soak up the yogurt.
- Before serving, garnish with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon (optional).
