This Lemon Berry Trifle is made with super moist homemade lemon cake, layered with vanilla pudding and tons of fresh berries! Perfect for summer.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9x13" pan
In a large bowl, whisk together butter and sugar.
Add eggs, yogurt, lemon juice and vanilla and whisk until smooth. Add flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and zest and stir just until combined.
Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 20-30 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool completely.
To make the trifle: Remove the cake from the pan and cut into cubes. Place half of the cake cubes in the bottom of a trifle dish or glass bowl.
In a medium bowl, whisk together vanilla pudding mix and milk until smooth. Pour half over the cake in the dish. Top with half of the berries.
Repeat layers one more time, using remaining cake, pudding and berries. Top with whipped cream. Refrigerate until chilled and set, about 1-2 hours and serve.
