Ingredients
Method
Prepare Sponge Cake
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Pour the batter into a greased baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool, then cut into small cubes.
Make Custard
- In a saucepan, whisk together the milk, sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil.
- Remove from heat and whisk in the egg yolks and vanilla extract. Let cool before using.
Prepare Whipped Cream
- In a mixing bowl, beat the chilled heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
Assemble Trifles
- In small glass cups, layer the sponge cake cubes, custard, mixed berries, and whipped cream. Repeat the layers until the cups are full.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
