Ingredients

• 1 Purchased angel food cake, divided
• 32 Ounces (oz) sweetened vanilla yogurt, divided
• 1 Pint (pt) strawberries, sliced
• 0.75 Cups strawberry preserves
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) water, divided
• 2 Cups blueberries, rinsed
• 0.75 Cups blueberry preserves
• 1 Pint (pt) whole strawberries, for garnish
• 1 Cup blueberries, for garnish

Steps

1. Place a layer of angel food cake pieces in the bottom of a small trifle dish or pretty cut glass bowl. Spread a thin layer of yogurt over the cake layer.
2. Add a single layer of sliced strawberries. Place strawberry preserves and 1 tablespoon of water in a microwave-safe bowl and heat on High until preserves liquefy, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir, adding more water if needed to make a syrup. Drizzle strawberry syrup over the strawberry layer.
3. Add another single layer of cake pieces, and spread with yogurt. Sprinkle with blueberries.
4. Place blueberry preserves and 1 tablespoon of water in a microwave-safe bowl and heat on High until preserves have melted, about 1 minute. Stir, adding more water if needed to make a syrup. Drizzle blueberry syrup over the blueberries.
5. Add another layer of cake pieces; spread with yogurt, add a layer of strawberries, and drizzle with strawberry syrup. Add a layer of cake; spread with yogurt, sprinkle with blueberries, and drizzle with blueberry syrup. Spread with a final layer of yogurt.
6. Garnish with fresh strawberry slices, whole berries, and blueberries, and drizzle with any remaining syrup.
7. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Store leftovers, covered, in the refrigerator.

Cook's Note: If using a straight-sided trifle bowl, evenly divide the ingredients per layer. For bowls with slanted sides, use less of each ingredient in the lower layers and more in the upper layers. To make fruit syrup, melt fruit preserves or jelly in the microwave and combine with a little water.
