Triple Orange Layer Trifle Recipes

Steps:

• Cut the pound cake into 9 (3/4-inch) slices and spread each slice on 1 side with raspberry jam, using all the jam. Set aside.
• Place a layer of cake, jam side up, in the bottom of a 2 1/2 to 3-quart glass serving bowl, cutting the pieces to fit. Top with a layer of raspberries and orange cream. Repeat the layers of cake, raspberries, and orange cream, ending with a third layer of cake, jam side down, and raspberries.
• Whip the cream in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. When it starts to thicken, add the sugar and vanilla and continue to whip until it forms stiff peaks. Decorate the trifle with whipped cream. The trifle can sit for awhile at room temperature.
• Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour 2 (8 1/2 by 4 1/2 by 2 1/2-inch loaf pans. Line the bottoms with parchment paper.
• Cream the butter and 2 cups of the granulated sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment for about 5 minutes, or until light and fluffy. With the mixer on medium speed, beat in the eggs, 1 at a time, and the orange zest.
• In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, combine 1/4 cup of the orange juice, the buttermilk, and vanilla. Add the flour and buttermilk mixtures alternately to the batter, beginning and ending with the flour. Divide the batter evenly between the pans, smooth the tops, and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until a cake tester comes out clean.
• While the cakes bake, cook the remaining 1/2 cup of granulated sugar with remaining 1/2 cup orange juice in a small saucepan over low heat until the sugar dissolves. When the cakes are done, let them cool for 10 minutes. Take them out of the pans and place them on a baking rack set over a tray. Spoon the orange syrup over the cakes and allow the cakes to cool completely.
• Combine the milk and orange zest in a medium stainless steel saucepan over medium heat and bring almost to a boil. Remove from the heat.
• Beat the egg yolks and sugar on medium-high speed in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until pale and thick, about 5 minutes. With the mixer on low speed, sprinkle on the cornstarch. Beat on medium-low speed until combined, scraping down the bowl with a rubber spatula.
• With the mixer on low speed, slowly pour the hot milk mixture into the egg mixture. Pour the mixture back into the pan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens, about 5 to 7 minutes. (Pay attention because it will thicken and then quickly become orange scrambled eggs!)
• Immediately, pour the mixture through a fine sieve into a large bowl. Stir in the vanilla, Grand Marnier, butter, and heavy cream. Place plastic wrap directly on the custard and refrigerate until cold.

Steps:

• Cut the cake into bite sized pieces.
• Drain mandarin oranges, reserving 1 cup juice. Reserve 5 orange slices for garnish. Cut the remaining slices into bite sized pieces.
• Place reserved juice in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Remove from the heat. Add gelatin mix and stir until the gelatin mix is dissolved.
• Combine gelatin mixture and sherbet in a large bowl. Stir until sherbet is melted. Fold in whipped topping.
• Layer cake pieces, orange pieces and sherbet mixture one half at a time in a glass serving dish.
• Chill, covered, for 6 to 8 hours. Top with reserved orange slices.

Steps:

• Cut the cake into slices and arrange them on a plate or a wide, shallow dish. Drizzle with the orange liqueur.
• Zest the orange or clementines into a bowl and set aside. Squeeze the juice from the orange or clementines, over the liqueur-soaked cake.
• Whip the cream in a small bowl until thick but soft, and spoon it unfancily over the top of the saturated, not to say gloriously sodden, cake.
• Arrange the blackberries over the top of the whipped cream, then scatter with the reserved zest before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour your pan.
• Prepare cake mix according to directions.
• Remove 1 1/2 cups of the batter and set aside.
• Pour remaining batter into the pan.
• Stir dry orange jello into the 1 1/2 cups batter.
• Drop this onto the batter in the pan, and cut through batter with a knife, with S-shaped curves, in one continuous motion, for a swirled effect.
• Bake according to cake mix directions.
• Cool and crumble.
• Make the vanilla pudding, according to the box, with the 2 cups of milk.
• In a trifle bowl, layer 1/3 of the cake, 1/2 of the pudding, and 1/3 of the clementines.
• Continue for another layer.
• For the top layer, you'll only have cake and oranges -- you'll then top that layer with the Cool Whip, and garnish (if desired) with a few clementine secions.

Steps:

• Place cubed cake in bottom of large glass serving bowl. Layer the blueberries, raspberries and blackberries on top of the cake. Sprinkle with praline liqueur.
• In a medium bowl, combine pudding mix, milk, condensed milk and 1 cup of whipped topping, stir well. Pour mixture over frozen berries. Top custard with remaining cool whip. Let sit at room temperature for 1 hour or in refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours, enough for the berries to thaw before serving.
