Step-by-Step Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a large bowl, whisk together the softened butter, eggs, and milk. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and whisk until just combined. Pour the batter into a greased and floured 9x13-inch baking dish. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
2
Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan. Once the cake is cool, use a serrated knife to cut it into 1-inch cubes. You should end up with around 3 cups of cubed cake.
3
In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream until it forms stiff peaks. Add the granulated sugar and whip until combined. Set the whipped cream aside in the refrigerator until you're ready to assemble the trifle.
4
To assemble the trifle, place a layer of cubed cake in the bottom of a large glass or bowl. Top the cake with a layer of sliced strawberries, followed by a layer of whipped cream. Repeat this process two more times, ending with a layer of whipped cream on top. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and serve immediately.
