Peach Trifle

Fresh peach slices are gently macerated with cinnamon sugar and a squeeze of lemon, coaxing out their natural juices, then layered with soft cubes of pound cake and clouds of whipped cream. It comes together in about 25 minutes, chills beautifully in the fridge, and feels effortless yet special.
