步骤说明
- 1
Preheat your oven to ![350°F]. Grease a baking dish and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- 2
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar together with a hand mixer on high speed for 4–5 minutes until the mixture is very pale, thick, and has tripled in volume. Beat in the vanilla extract.
- 3
Sift the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt over the eggs mixture. Using a spatula, gently fold them in with slow, sweeping strokes — be careful not to deflate the batter.
- 4
In a small mixing bowl, mix together the melted butter and milk. Pour it around the edge of the batter and fold in gently until just combined.
- 5
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 18–20 minutes, until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely in the pan, then cut into roughly 1-inch cubes.
- 6
In a large mixing bowl, combine the strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries with the granulated sugar and lemon juice. Toss gently and let macerate for at least 15 minutes — the berries will release their juices and become syrupy.
- 7
In a small mixing bowl, stir together the raspberry jam and orange juice until smooth. This will be drizzled over the cake to moisten it.
- 8
In a medium saucepan, heat the milk and heavy cream over ^[medium heat] until steaming and just beginning to simmer around the edges. Do not boil.
- 9
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, granulated sugar, and cornstarch until smooth and pale, about 1–2 minutes.
- 10
Slowly pour about half of the hot milk mixture into the egg yolks mixture in a thin stream, whisking constantly (this is called tempering — it prevents the eggs from scrambling). Then pour everything back into the saucepan.
- 11
Cook the custard over ^[medium heat], whisking constantly, until it thickens and begins to bubble — about 3–4 minutes. Once you see the first big bubble, cook for 1 more minute, then remove from heat.
- 12
Stir in the vanilla extract and butter until the butter melts. Pour the custard through a sieve into a clean mixing bowl to remove any lumps. Press a sheet of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming. Refrigerate until completely cold, at least 1 hour.
- 13
Just before assembling, pour the cold heavy whipping cream into a large chilled mixing bowl. Beat with a hand mixer on ^[medium-high speed] until it begins to thicken. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then continue beating until soft, billowy peaks form. Do not overbeat.
- 14
Arrange half the sponge cake cubes in a single layer across the bottom of a large trifle bowl (or a deep glass serving bowl). Drizzle half of the jam-orange juice mixture evenly over the cake to moisten it.
- 15
Spoon half of the macerated berries (with their juices) over the cake layer, spreading them to the edges so the colors show through the glass.
- 16
Pour or spoon half of the chilled custard evenly over the berries layer, smoothing it gently with a spatula.
- 17
Repeat the layers: remaining cake cubes, jam drizzle, remaining berries, and remaining custard.
- 18
Dollop or pipe the whipped cream generously over the top layer of custard, covering it completely. Decorate with fresh mixed berries and mint leaves if using. Cover loosely and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight) before serving to let the layers meld together beautifully.
