This Outrageous Lemon Lovers Trifle is a dessert filled with creamy irresistible citrus deliciousness. It starts with our family recipe for Lemon Lovers Pound Cake that's liberally brushed with a homemade lemon simple syrup. The pound cake is cubed and then layered with fluffy lemon cream and whipped cream then garnished with fresh lemon slices. It's outrageously delicious!
For The Love of Outrageous Lemon Trifle
I am a huge fan of trifles both sweet and savory. They fall into the category of "edible centerpieces" in my cookbook. I have several over-the-top dessert versions here on m y website:
- Strawberry Cheesecake Trifle is always a winner

- Red Velvet White Chocolate Cheesecake Trifle ideal for any special occasion.
Outrageous Lemon Lovers Trifle
When spring blooms so does this outrageous lemon lovers trifle. It's a happy flavor combination that's spectacular for any special occasion such as a bridal or baby shower, girls night, Easter, Mothers Day, a backyard picnic, church potluck and beyond. I begin with a lemon lovers pound cake or my lemon burst buttermilk cake. If you're pressed for time with no time to bake, you could use a lemon or vanilla cake from your local bakery in a pinch.
