For a richer flavor, consider using a sherry-soaked sponge cake. Fresh fruit, such as berries or peaches, can be substituted for the canned fruit cocktail. If you prefer a non-alcoholic version, use a berry-flavored gelatin instead of port wine. To prevent the sponge cake from becoming too soggy, you can lightly brush it with a simple syrup before layering with the fruit and gelatin. For a more decadent trifle, add a layer of raspberry jam between the cake and fruit.
