Strawberry Shortcake Trifle

This is a super fast, super easy throw together dessert that is perfect for potlucks, BBQ, and picnics.

1 prepared angel food cake
2 pints strawberries; rinsed, stemmed, and sliced
2 Tbs sugar
1 tsp lemon zest
1 1/2 tubs whipped topping
1 tsp vanilla (I highly recommend Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla)
1 trifle dish

In a bowl mix the sliced strawberries, sugar, and lemon zest. Set aside and let the juices develop.
Cut or rip the angel food cake apart into bite size pieces.
In a separate bowl fold the vanilla into the whipped topping.
In bottom of trifle dish put a thin layer of the berries, followed by a layer of cake, top the cake layer with a layer of whipped topping and repeat this process to the top of the trifle dish. Chill.
Can be topped with toasted, sliced almonds.

This is another family fave passed down by my mother and adjusted slightly. Enjoy!
