How to Make Old Fashioned Pound Cake Raspberry Trifle

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour three 9x5 inch loaf pans.
  2. Prepare the pound cake batter (see separate recipe). Divide batter evenly among the three prepared loaf pans.
  3. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  4. Let cakes cool completely in pans before inverting onto wire racks to cool completely.
  5. Once cooled, wrap two of the pound cakes tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for future use.
  6. To assemble the trifle: Slice one pound cake into 1-inch thick layers. Place one layer at the bottom of a large trifle bowl or serving bowl.
  7. Layer fresh raspberries (about 2 cups) evenly over the pound cake layer.
  8. Prepare the custard (see separate recipe) and let cool slightly.
  9. Pour half of the cooled custard over the raspberries.
  10. Top with another layer of pound cake, raspberries, and remaining custard.
  11. Top with a final pound cake layer and garnish with fresh raspberries and a dusting of powdered sugar.
  12. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow flavors to meld.
