- 4 Eggs
- 1/2 c Maple Syrup

Pudding
- 1 1/3c Sugar
- 1/4 c Cornstarch

- 3 c Farmland Fresh Dairies Heavy Cream
- 1/4 c Salted Butter
- 2 tsp Vanilla

Method-
Begin by making cornbread layers. Preheat oven to 425 F. Butter two 8” cake pans. Stir together dry ingredients in a large bowl, wet ingredients in another, then stir together until just combined. Bake for 25 min, or until an inserted knife comes out clean. Cool on wire racks.
Make the pudding. This can also be done the night before. Combine the sugar, cornstarch, eggs, and cream in a large saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened, approximately 8 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and place plastic wrap directly onto the pudding. Cool in the refrigerator for a couple of hours. The pudding will thicken as it cools.
Before assembly, trim the cornbread cakes. Cut around the outside so the edges are raw and the entire cake fits into an 8” trifle bowl. Cut the top “bump” of the cake off so the surface is flat. Repeat with both cakes.
To assemble, place a cornbread cake layer on the bottom of the trifle dish as your initial base. Cover with half of the pudding. Top with all of the raspberries, in an even layer. Make sure the pudding and berries hit the glass evenly for a beautiful presentation. Add a generous layer of whipped cream, again, coming over to the sides. Add the second layer of cornbread, the remainder of the pudding, arrange the peaches on a circle around the top. Let cool in the refrigerator until ready to serve. This will moisten the cornbread layers as they marry into the pudding. Add a generous amount of whipped cream to the top before serving!
Enjoy!
