To make this Mixed Berry Trifle, you'll first need to cut your butter cake into cubes that are about 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch in size. If you're going to make one large trifle, you can go up to about 1 inch in size.

Fill the bottom of the trifle dish with a layer of cubed pound cake.

Spread on a layer of vanilla pudding.

Mixed berries make up the next layer. I used a combination of raspberries, blueberries and blackberries. Strawberries would be another nice addition. My berries were plenty sweet, so I didn't add any sugar. If you find your berries aren't quite sweet enough, add 1/2 to 1 cup of sugar to them and allow to sit for about 30 minutes.

Spread a generous amount of whipped topping over the berries. You can absolutely make your own whipped cream, but I chose to keep this recipe incredibly simple and purchased ready-made whipped topping.

I like to garnish each trifle with a few berries. Some fresh mint leaves would be very pretty too.
