Does anyone remember that RaspBEERy bread I made a while back?? It was a Raspberry wheat beer infused pound cake with a raspBEERy glaze 😀 It was gobbled up and basically licked clean by my volleyball team so I felt it necessary to make again.
Only this time, I wanted to make it into a trifle with my yummy custard recipe 🙂 This trifle involved a raspBEERy bread layer, raspBEERy sauce, fresh raspberries, and custard 🙂 It is a delicious combination of flavors and not so surprising, it goes well with the Raspberry Wheat from Twisted Pine Brewery. Though I thought something different would be better, the accompaniment of this beer helped to bring all the flavors together.
Preparation:
Bake the RaspBEERy Pound Cake
Since I was just using it for the trifle I baked it in a bread pan instead of a bundt pan.
Make the Custard
This can be made a day or two in advance.
Trifle Assembly:
Cut or break pieces of bread to fit into the bottom of a dish (make sure to use a clear dish so that you can see all the pretty layers). I only made individual sizes but there is enough bread and custard to make a large trifle for a crowd!
Drizzle with RaspBEERy sauce. This was a random concoction but it was about 1 T of raspberry jelly mixed with reduced raspberry wheat beer and a little non-reduced beer. I would play with the recipe or if you do not have time, you could exclude this but it made it extra delicious 🙂 (Of course my amount was on a smaller scale and would need to be increased for a large trifle)
Add a layer of fresh raspberries.
Dollop with yummy custard!!
Repeat steps.
Top with a raspberry and enjoy! Since it is the Fourth of July, blueberries could easily be incorporated to make a festive trifle 🙂 For everyone in the US, have a great holiday weekend!

Having turned 21 recently, this recipe seems amazing! xD don’t worry I’m not an irresponsible drinker 😛 I still need time to get used to the flavor of alcohol… but this recipe definitely takes drinking to a whole new level! Thanks for sharing, hehe
Well Happy Birthday! It is a big one 🙂 And yes, even those that do not care for the taste of alcohol can usually enjoy baking with it 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!
Beer infused pound cake sounds so unique. This trifle is a great way to serve it.
Someone gave me the idea for the pound cake a while back and it is awesome!
What a GORGEOUS trifle recipe 😀
The beer adds a lovely kick no doubt 😉

Thank you, thank you!! 🙂
Ohhhh my gosh. This looks AMAZING. I would’ve licked the bowl clean too!! I’ll have to hunt for that raspberry beer. It looks delicious! Love the progressive photos too – completely drool-worthy xx
Ha ha, thank you Laura!! I was definitely scraping the little trifle dish clean 🙂 I just love anything with custard and this combination was superb!
Love this recipe, and your play on words, Love a trifle and this is such a creative and delicious one.
Yes I love trifles too but had never actually made one. Since I finally “mastered” my mothers custard recipe and everyone loved the beer pound cake, I thought I ought to put them together 🙂 thanks so much!
this is so brilliant, I can’t even 😉 Love how you slip beer into unlikely places, then have it seem like such a no-brainer. Of course raspberry beer goes well in pound cake! But I needed you to come up with it first 🙂
Ha ha thanks Liz! The pound cake alone is awesome but then add custard and raspberries and it’s irresistible 🙂 he he
That looks just lovely!!
Thank you! 🙂
Grab a Spoon – YUM 🙂
Wish I could share! 🙂
Oh. My. Word.
This looks RIDICULOUSLY GOOD. 😀
Ha ha thank you! It was super yummy!
