Step1: Preparing and Baking the CakeSet your oven's temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) first. Then, grease, butter, or flour an 8-inch square baking pan. Whisk butter and sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Add each egg separately, then mix in the vanilla. Gradually add the flour, baking powder, and salt, alternating with the sour cream and milk. Mix until just combined. Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely before cutting it into 1-inch squares.
Step 2: Preparing the berry sauceThe second step in the Berry Trifle Cake Cup Crumbl recipe is to prepare the mixed berries sauce. Grab a small saucepan (or any saucepan you have lying around). Add the sugar, lemon juice, and mixed berries. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently. You'll know it's ready when the berries have burst and the sauce has thickened. This should take about 10-15 minutes. Let it cool completely.
Step 3: Making the vanilla puddingIn another saucepan, whisk together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Slowly pour in the milk, whisking constantly. Cook until bubbling and thickened over medium heat. Let it simmer for about a minute before removing from the heat. Stir in the vanilla and butter. Place plastic wrap over the surface and chill the mixture until it is very cold.
Step 4: Putting together your Cup of Crumbl Berry Trifle CakeThis part is where the fun begins! Get your spoons ready, because we're about to layer some deliciousness.Start by placing a square of cake at the bottom of your cup. Top it with a dollop of berry sauce, then a layer of vanilla pudding, and another square of cake. Repeat until your cup is full. Finish it off with a drizzle of berry sauce. Ta-da! You've just created your very own homemade Crumbl Berry Trifle Cake Cup.
