Steps:
- Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. To make the gooseberry purée, tip 200ml water and the sugar into a pan and heat, stirring, until the sugar has dissolved. Bring to a gentle simmer, then add the gooseberries and cook for 8 mins, or until tender. Drain, reserving the poaching liquid. Lightly mash the gooseberries to break them up a little, then leave to cool. Taste to check for sweetness, and add a little more sugar if you like (remember that the cream and sponge are both sweet, though). Boil the reserved poaching liquid for 8-10 mins until syrupy, then add the cordial. Leave to cool completely.
- Butter and line the base of a 20-23cm cake tin. To make the sponge, beat the eggs and the sugar together with an electric whisk until pale and tripled in volume, then add 1 tbsp lukewarm water. Fold in the flour and a pinch of salt using a large metal spoon, being careful not to knock the air out of the eggs. Pour into the prepared tin and bake for about 25 mins. When ready, it will come away slightly from the edges of the tin. Leave to cool in the tin, then turn out and cut into broad fingers. You should get about 18, but don't worry about accuracy - there's no need to be precise.
- For the cream, beat the mascarpone with a wooden spoon to loosen it, then add the crème fraîche and sugar. Gradually add the cordial and squeeze over some lime juice. Taste and check whether you need more sugar, cordial or lime juice, then transfer to the fridge and chill until needed.
- Arrange a layer of sponge fingers over the base of a glass bowl or trifle dish, then spoon over some of the elderflower-flavoured poaching liquid. Top with a layer of gooseberry purée, then a layer of the cream. Continue to layer the ingredients (you'll probably only manage two layers of each), finishing with a layer of cream. Chill for at least 2 hrs and up to two days, then garnish with some toasted flaked almonds and flowers before serving.

Steps:
- For the custard, heat the double cream and vanilla in a medium saucepan and bring to the boil. Whisk together the eggs, cornflour, cordial and sugar in a bowl, then pour in the hot vanilla cream. Pour into a clean pan and set over a low-medium heat for 5-6 mins until thick and glossy. Pass through a fine sieve into a bowl and leave to cool.
- Put the wine and gelatine in a separate pan, heat gently to dissolve, then pass through another fine sieve into a jug and leave to cool slightly.
- Put the lemon drizzle cake in a trifle or serving dish, pour over the jelly and place in the fridge for 1 hr to set. Once set, pour the custard onto the trifle base and leave to set in the fridge overnight.
- The next day, put the strawberries, caster sugar and vinegar in a mixing bowl, toss together and leave in the fridge for 1 hr or so. Spoon the strawberries on top of the custard, along with the balsamic juices.
- Whisk the double cream, vanilla and icing sugar together, then spoon on top of the trifle. To serve, crumble over the biscuits and scatter with thyme.

Steps:
- Tip the gooseberries into a large saucepan or preserving pan with 300ml water. Cook over a low heat for about 15 mins, stirring occasionally, until the fruit has broken down into a soupy purée.
- Add the sugar and cook over a low heat until the sugar has dissolved, then turn up the heat as high as it will go and boil everything for 10 mins, stirring the bottom to make sure the jam doesn't burn and skimming any scum off when it appears. If you have a jam or digital thermometer, the optimum temperature for the jam to set is 105C, but anything around 104C will be fine.
- Do the wrinkle test (see tip) on a frozen saucer to make sure it's set, then add the elderflower cordial and leave to cool before decanting your jam into sterilised jars.
