ENGLISH TRIFLE WITH ANGEL FOOD CAKE

Cook over low-medium heat stirring constantly until the mixture begins to thicken. Slowly pour 1/2 the hot milk mixture into a bowl of the beaten egg yolks, stirring constantly. Then pour all the mixture back into the double boiler and sir until thick. Add butter and vanilla. Chill.
• The next day, spread raspberry jam on top of sherried cake layers (or ladyfingers). Layer the bottom of a bowl with 1/3 the cake and pour 1/3 of the pastry cream over the top. Sprinkle with nuts. Layer cake, cream and nuts until all of the ingredients have been used. Top the uppermost layer with whipped cream and garnish with maraschino cherries and slivered almonds. Refrigerate 1 to 2 hours before serving.

• Soak the cookie crumbs in the Grand Marnier in a bowl. Heat the chocolate in a double boiler over hot water until melted, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Add the butter, stirring until smooth.
• Whisk the egg yolks in a bowl until blended. Stir in a small amount of the chocolate mixture into the egg yolks. Stir the egg yolks into the chocolate mixture. Let stand until cool.
• Beat the whipping cream in a mixing bowl until soft peaks form. Fold into the chocolate mixture. Layer the chocolate mixture and cookie mixture alternately in a greased 8-inch springform pan until all of the ingredients are used. Chill, covered, for several hours.

BERRY TRIFLE

Steps:

• Place the berries into a large bowl and sprinkle with half of the lemon juice. Lightly toss.
• Combine the berries, sugar, cornstarch and remaining lemon juice in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer and cook just until the berries begin to break down and give up their juices, about 3 minutes. Take the berries off the heat and let cool; the mixture should thicken up as is cools.
• In a clean bowl, whip the cream with the sugar and the vanilla to soft peaks. Put the lemon curd into a second bowl and stir in a little of the whipped cream to loosen it. Then fold in the rest of the cream.
• To assemble the trifle, spoon a layer of the lemon cream into a large glass bowl. Add a layer of pound cake, breaking the slices into pieces that fit. Then soak the cake with a layer of berries and their juices. Keep going to make 3 or 4 more layers, depending on the size of the bowl, finishing with a layer of lemon cream. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

RASPBERRY & COCONUT TRIFLE CAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Butter and line a deep 20cm loose-bottom cake tin. Beat all the cake ingredients together until smooth, pour into the tin, then smooth the top. Bake for 40-45 mins until golden and risen. Cool completely on a rack; once cold, put into the fridge. Meanwhile, prepare the custard - whisk the cornflour and 1 tbsp icing sugar into the remaining coconut cream until smooth. Bring the custard to the boil, then whisk in the coconut mix. Keep whisking until it's boiling and fairly thick. Tip into a bowl, cover with cling film straight away, then cool.
• Mix the Malibu, lime zest and juice and 2 tbsp icing sugar. Trim off the top of the cake if it's domed, then cut into three horizontally using a bread knife or serrated knife.
• Line the cleaned cake tin with plenty of cling film (a little oil helps it to stick), then put a circle of cake back in the bottom. Sprinkle with some of the Malibu mix. Crush 100g of the raspberries and mix well into the jam, then fold in 100g whole raspberries. Spoon onto the sponge in the tin but don't go right to the edges.
• Top with the second piece of cake, sprinkle with more of the Malibu mix, then spoon the custard over and spread it out. Top with the final layer of cake, sprinkle with remaining Malibu, then chill for at least 4 hrs, covered with cling film, to let the layers firm up and the flavours mingle.
• Once set, remove the cake from the tin, then slide it onto a serving plate. Softly whip the cream with the final 1 tbsp icing sugar, then spread over top of the cake. Scatter with the remaining whole raspberries and decorate with fresh shredded coconut, if you like.

Cool in the tin for 5 mins, then turn out and cool completely on a wire rack.
• Meanwhile, make the custard. Mix the custard powder and sugar together in a saucepan with a little of the milk to make a smooth paste. Whisk in the rest of the milk and slowly bring to the boil, stirring until the custard is smooth and thick. Remove from the heat and cover the surface of the custard with a disc of baking parchment. Set aside to cool.
