Another blogger asked me to write a recipe for homemade vanilla extract as I make my own. It’s so easy, and makes a sweet gift for another baker in your life.
vanilla extract
cake
no bake trifle cake
I invented this cake years ago when I was living in a flat with a kitchen the size of a broom cupboard. I just didn’t have the space to bake and have food in the oven at the same time. I was cooking a birthday dinner party and this cake hit the spot. You can decorate as magnificently as you want.It is better eaten on the day, or kept in the fridge.
Serves 8-10.
Ingredients:
3 shop bought sponge flans
A large tub of whipping cream (1000 ml)
A tub of ready made custard (very thick)
3 tablespoons of raspberry jam
A punnet (or tray) of raspberries
Berries to decorate
Sherry (optional)
