    This was wonderful! So easy to make. I'm thinking of making a Meyer Lemon Pound Cake to use in this recipe next time. Just the way the recipe is presented here, it's still a 10!

    Quite delicious and very adaptable to what you have on hand. I made it using frozen raspberries, homemade triple berry jam, chocolate pound cake (Rose Levy Beranbaum Cake Bible recipe), and brushed the cake with a simple syrup mixed with creme de cassis.

    I doubled this recipe and used a very large, almost straight-sided glass bowl (without a pedestal). It was incredibly easy to put together, looked beautiful, and it was a big hit at a family gathering. I used Sara Lee pound cake -- very dense so the cake didn't fall apart after soaking up all the raspberry juice.

    This looks fabulous! I'm going to try and make it this Christmas, in addition to these truffles, and homemade eggnog if I have time http://www.fourgreensteps.com/community/recipes/desserts-a-goodies-/unbelievably-rich-chocolate-truffles

    Although I haven't tried this trifle yet, I plan on doing so for Christmas. I do have the trifle bowl as I often make pumpkin trifle (using gingerbread cake mix) and it is always well received by my guests. I will review this berry recipe after Christmas and let you know how my family enjoyed it.
