Geoff Jansz demonstrated how to turn a burnt sponge cake into a delicious trifle.
You’ll need
- 1 packet jelly crystals or ready-made jelly from the supermarket
- sponge cake, with burnt edges cut off
- brandy, sherry or your favourite liqueur
- cream, whipped
- custard, either homemade or bought from the supermarket
- icing sugar, for dusting
Method
- If using jelly crystals make up as per the instructions on the packet. Refrigerate until set.
- Trim off the burnt edges of the sponge cake, cut into squares and place the squares into a bowl. Drizzle a little brandy, sherry or liqueur over the cake squares.
- Assemble the trifle in a large glass bowl or individual serving glasses. Add layers of cake, custard, jelly and whipped cream. Finish with some whipped cream and dust with icing sugar.
- Refrigerate until ready to serve.
