a sweet treat recipe
Kayla is a self-taught home cook and baker. Growing up with her grandparents, she would spend hours in front of the TV watching the Food Network. She and her grandmother would mold play-dough into different fruits and vegetables while watching cooking shows and have contests to see who made the most realistic dish. Eventually, Kayla moved on from play-dough and began to work with real food. On her blog,

- Combine all simple syrup ingredients into a medium size sauce pan and bring to a boil, stirring frequently.
- Once boiling, simmer over low heat until the mixture has reduced in size and has a syrup like consistency (this should take about 15 minutes). Let your simple syrup cool before using!
- Cut the angel food cake into small squares. Add half of your cake pieces to a medium size bowl and add the hibiscus syrup. Toss to coat each piece.
- Begin assembling your trifles! Add the hibiscus infused cake to the bottom, followed by your custard, plain cake pieces, strawberries, and whipped cream.
- Repeat until the trifle cups are full and enjoy!
Expiry: Consume immediately after making or the cake will get too mushy!
For this recipe, I purchased a custard powder and combined it with fresh vanilla bean and some milk. You can make your own custard if you'd like to, but purchasing powder is the easiest way to make this dessert!
