### How to Make It:
1. **Prepare your layers**: Wash and slice the strawberries, cube the cake, and whip the cream.
2. In a trifle bowl or large glass dish, **start layering**: begin with cake cubes, followed by a layer of strawberries, then a generous dollop of whipped cream.
3. **Repeat layers** until the dish is full, finishing with a swirl of whipped cream and a few decorative strawberry slices on top.
4. **Chill for at least an hour** before serving to let the flavors meld together.
### Tips & Variations:
* Swap in **angel food cake** for a lighter texture.
* Add a layer of **vanilla pudding** or **sweetened mascarpone** for extra creaminess.
* Use **blueberries or raspberries** along with strawberries for a patriotic twist.
* Make individual trifles in mason jars for a picnic-friendly version!
