Instructions

Shortcake:

  1. Heat oven to 400°F.
  2. Combine the flour, 1/2 cup sugar and baking powder in a large bowl. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Toss in cheddar.
  3. Whisk cream and eggs in a bowl. Gradually add to flour mixture just until combined. (Do not overmix.)
  4. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface; knead eight times. Pat dough into a greased 15 x 10-inch baking pan. Sprinkle with remaining sugar.
  5. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely in pan on a wire rack.

Berries:

  1. Meanwhile, set aside 5 blueberries and 5 raspberries. Combine the sugar, orange liqueur and remaining berries in a large bowl. Let stand for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Trifle:

  1. Cut a 9 x 4-inch section from end of the cake; set aside. Cut remaining cake into 1-inch cubes.
  2. Place half of the cake cubes into a large trifle or glass serving bowl. Top with half of the whipped cream. Line the edge of bowl with berries. Fill in middle with two-thirds berry mixture. Repeat layers, starting with the cake.
  3. Cut reserved cake with a 2-inch star cookie cutter. Thread stars and reserved berries on skewers; place into trifle.
