Instructions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, and dried lavender.
In another bowl, beat softened butter and sugar until creamy. Gradually add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Fold in the flour mixture and lemon zest. Pour into a prepared pan and bake at 180°C (350°F) for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
Step 2
In a saucepan, combine fresh blueberries, sugar, water, and lemon juice. Heat on medium until boiling, then reduce to a simmer.
Let it cook for about 10-15 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
Step 3
Using an electric mixer, beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture.
Lastly, add fresh blueberries to the mixture and carefully combine.
Step 4
Cut the baked lavender biscuit into cubes and layer it at the bottom of a trifle dish.
Add a layer of blueberry confit, followed by a layer of blueberry cheesecake.
Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with the cheesecake layer on top.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
Servings
When it comes to serving this luscious trifle, presentation is key! Opt for individual serving cups for a chic touch, or use one large bowl for a family-style dessert. Pair it with refreshing beverages like iced tea or a sparkling lemonade to complement the floral notes. 💧🍋
Don’t forget to decorate your trifle with fresh blueberries, a sprinkle of lavender, or even a sprig of mint to elevate its visual appeal. 🌿✨
Try serving it at a picnic or a brunch gathering—it's sure to be the star of the day. With every bite, you'll see smiles bloom as sweet as the lavender itself! 🌸🎉
Equipment
Choose a clear glass trifle dish to showcase your beautiful layers. If you don't have this, any clear glass bowl can work!
Have a few different sizes handy for mixing your cake batter and cheesecake components. Ensure they're clean and dry for the best results.
A whisk is great for smaller batches, but an electric mixer will save you time and effort, especially when beating cream to a soft peak.
Precision is key in baking! Invest in a good set for accurate measurements.

Variations
If you're looking for alternatives, we've got you covered! For a gluten-free option, simply substitute traditional flour with almond flour or a gluten-free baking mix. Your trifle will still be rich and delicious! 🌾🚫
For a vegan version, replace the eggs in the lavender cake with a flaxseed substitute and use coconut or almond cream for the cheesecake. This way, you get a sumptuous dessert that's friendly to all dietary preferences! 🌱🥄
Faq
- Can I make this trifle a day in advance?
Absolutely! In fact, making it a day ahead allows the flavors to meld beautifully. Just keep it covered in the fridge until you’re ready to serve.
- What can I substitute for lavender if I can’t find any?
You might try using a hint of vanilla or lemon zest as a substitute, but be cautious as lavender adds a unique flavor to the trifle.
- I think my cake turned out too dry. What can I do next time?
Ensure you measure your flour correctly and avoid over-mixing, which can lead to a denser texture. Using room temperature ingredients can also help!
- Can I use frozen blueberries?
Yes, frozen blueberries will work perfectly! Just make sure to thaw them and drain excess liquid before using them in your compote.
- What’s the best way to layer the trifle for an impressive look?
Start with a layer of cake, followed by cheesecake, then blueberry compote. Repeat the process, ensuring to alternate colors for a stunning visual effect.
- How do I prevent the layers from mixing?
To keep the layers intact, ensure each layer of cake is compact and allow them to cool completely before layering. Patience pays off!
