Today I've teamed up with a few other Canadian bloggers to share some Canada Day-inspired treats. You'll find all of the recipes at the end of this blog post, so make sure to check them out.

In the wake of last month's discovery of the remains of 215 Indigenous children and more being discovered at a former residential school sites across Canada, we would like to honor the families and the Indigenous peoples of Canada. We at Baked by Blair value inclusion, and respect diversity and community for all people. Let Canada Day become a day of reflection for the Indigenous families and a day we reflect on the cultures of our country, moving forward in unity.

What is a Trifle?

A trifle is a traditional British dessert created by layering pieces of moist cake, velvety custard or whipped cream, and fresh fruit - usually assembled in a large trifle bowl. This fresh twist allows for individual servings, and the recipe can be multiplied!

How to Assemble the Best Recipe for Strawberry Trifle

1. Begin by layering vanilla cake along the bottom of a stemless wine glass.

Ingredients

• Vanilla Cake. Click the link to find tons of helpful pointers for making an incredible vanilla cake for your trifle.
• Vanilla Pudding. You can, of course, make vanilla pudding from scratch, but I've opted for instant pudding because there's something about it that is so reminiscent of childhood!
• Pure vanilla extract for a rich vanilla flavor. I use Pure Madagascar Vanilla Extract from Vanilla Blossom Flavours - you can use the code BBB2021 to receive 15% off of your order!
• Slivered and halved strawberries. For this recipe, I like to use halved strawberries to fill between layers of cake and pudding. To create a pretty design on your trifle, use slivered strawberries to line the outside of the bowl.
• Whipped Cream. I like to make this fresh, but you can use canned if you are short on time!
