Perfect for a party or as a poolside treat, this trifle is so easy to make it almost seems like cheating. It includes a couple of prepared ingredients — pound cake and raspberry jam — to keep things super simple, so the only thing you really have to cook is the sugared almond garnish. And since trifles are best when made a day ahead, there’s no need to worry about any last-minute headaches.
