Ingredients
500 number Cream-500 ml, whipped
3 number Strawberry jam -3 tablespoons
0.5 number Plain sponge cake-one half
7 tbsp Sherry-100 ml, creamed
250 number Strawberry-250 grams
250 number Berries-250 grams or one punnet, mulberries and other berries could also be included
2 number Custard-2 cups, 500 ml
2 number Whipped cream-500 ml
Directions
- Spread the strawberry jam over the sponge cake, and cut into small squares.
- Place it in a bowl and pour the sherry over the top and very gently mix through so the sherry is absorbed into the cake.
- Chop up the fruit – but set a few berries aside for decoration. In a large clear bowl – start layering the cake first, then the fruit, then the cream, more cake, custard etc. It doesn’t really matter what order – just so that it looks nice!
- Top with the whipped cream and decorate with the set aside fruit.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight or at least for a few hours.
