BERRIES

STEP 1: For the angel food cake, mix egg whites and lemon juice in the bowl of a stand mixer on med-high speed until eggs look frothy.

STEP 2: While mixing, stream the sugar in slowly until it forms a soft peak. Add vanilla and mix.  Sift in cake flour and salt. Mix on med-low.

STEP 3: Spread batter into two un-greased lined 8 inch pans. Bake for 25 min at 350F. Remove from the oven and flip onto a cooling rack. Cool for 2 hours.

STEP 4: For the berries, slice the fruit and toss in a bowl with sugar and lemon juice and allow to rest. Strain the fruits from their juice and keep both.

STEP 5: For the pastry cream, whisk together the egg yolks, sugar, cornstarch and salt aggressively until it becomes smooth.

STEP 6: Heat the milk over medium heat in a saucepan until it comes to a simmer. Stream half of the milk into the eggs as you whisk.

STEP 7: Dump the mixture back into the saucepan and cook while whisking. As it begins to thicken and stick to the pan, whisk for another min.

STEP 8: Remove from heat and pour into a bowl with butter and vanilla. After the  butter melts, whisk until smooth.

STEP 9: For the chantilly cream. Sift powdered sugar and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer. Add heavy whipping cream and vanilla bean paste.

STEP 10: Beat until it begins to thicken. Increase speed until stiff peaks form. Fold a couple times with a spatula to make it smooth and silky.

STEP 11: To assemble, slice the angel food cake into 1 inch cubes once it has fully cooled. Spread ⅓ of the cake into a trifle dish.

STEP 12: Drizzle 2-3 tbsp of the fruit juice on top. Spread ⅓ of the pastry cream on top, followed by 1/3 of the fruit and 1/3 of the chantilly cream.

STEP 13: Repeat with the rest of the layers. Refrigerate the cake for at least an hour to set and serve fresh!
