For the best flavor, use ripe, in-season strawberries. If you don't have a trifle bowl, you can assemble individual shortcakes in glasses or bowls. To prevent the angel food cake from becoming soggy, assemble the shortcake no more than a few hours before serving. A splash of citrus liqueur, such as Grand Marnier or Cointreau, can be added to the macerated strawberries for an extra layer of flavor.
