Method

  1. Spread a little jam on each slice of cake. Arrange on the bottom of a glass dish. Spoon over the raspberries and squish down a little with a fork then sprinkle over the sherry. Put the custard powder and sugar into a bowl and mix in 2 tbsp of the milk. Heat the rest of the milk then gradually pour over the powder, mixing all the time. Return to the pan and simmer for a few minutes until thickened.
  2. Leave custard to cool to room temperature then spoon over the raspberries. Chill for 30 minutes. Softly whip the cream and dollop over the custard. Scatter over the almonds and raspberries then chill for an hour before serving.

    I use this as a base, I use ready made custard, mix and match fruit and I puree some of the fruit. It goes down a treat and the left overs are perfect for breakfast.

    I made this for Christmas pudding for the in-laws, having never ever made trifle before (yes - really!). Couldn't get raspberries so it ended up being summer fruits, and the custard was a ready made pack, and you added your own cream (and hundreds and thousands if you were my hubby!) ......YUM!

    I have made this on a number of occasions and have found that cooking the fruit in a small amount of water with some sugar makes for a lovely juice to soak into the madeira cake (I don't add alcohol to my recipe).... I usually add some raspberry conserve to the juice to make it more tasty.... I have found that kept in the fridge overnight adds to the flavours... It is so good I made it for my wedding party.... not a scraping left!!!
