Note

Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The cake may become soggy if stored too long.

You can substitute pound cake with ladyfingers or sponge cake for a lighter texture.

For a vegan version, ensure the pound cake is vegan and use a plant-based whipped cream and vegan vanilla pudding mix.

Assemble the trifle up to 24 hours in advance for best flavor melding.
