Wash, hull, and slice the strawberries. Toss them with granulated sugar in a bowl and let sit for 10–15 minutes to release their juices.
In a chilled mixing bowl, beat heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
Cut the pound cake or sponge cake into small cubes.
Layer the ingredients in individual trifle glasses or jars: Start with a layer of cake cubes at the bottom.
Add a layer of macerated strawberries over the cake cubes.
Top with a dollop of whipped cream, spreading it evenly.
Repeat the layers (cake, strawberries, whipped cream) until the glass is nearly full, finishing with a final layer of whipped cream on top.
Garnish with a fresh strawberry, crushed graham crackers, or chocolate shavings, if desired.
Refrigerate the assembled trifles for 15–30 minutes to let the flavors meld before serving.
