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.
