These mini trifle cups are ALMOST too cute to eat. These cuties are made with lemon pound cake, homemade whipped cream and fresh raspberries and strawberries. I bought these darling little disposable mini trifle cups from Amazon. The lemon poundcake can take a little time to make, but if you're in a time crunch, you can easily swap out the poundcake with a store-bought angel food cake or something similar!
2 Sticks of Butter
3 Cups Flour
2 Teaspoons Baking Powder
1/2 Teaspoon Salt
2 Cups Sugar
5 Large Eggs
3/4 Cup Buttermilk
2 Teaspoons Lemon Zest
2 Tablespoons Fresh Lemon Juice

Place the butter in a large bowl and beat until soft, using a hand mixer. Add the sugar and beat until fluffy (1-2 minutes). Add the eggs one at a time, beating until incorporated after each one. Add the flour mixture alternating with the buttermilk, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Mixing well after each addition. Stir in the lemon juice and zest.
Pour the batter into the 2 prepared pans. Bake until a toothpick comes out clean 35-45 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from the pan and cooling completely on a wire rack.
