Harvest and my Dads birthday always clash so this year I decided to make a combine friendly version of his favourite dessert. A trifle cake. Admittedly, the finished product is still a little tricky to eat in a moving vehicle (let alone a combine) but he loved it! So layer them up and try this scrummy cake!
Ingredients for the cake:
-
400g butter
-
400g caster sugar
-
1tsp baking powder
-
8 eggs
-
4tbsp coconut cream*
-
400g self raising flour
* if you can’t find coconut cream (which I couldn’t) then use coconut milk. Open the tin but do not mix it together and scoop out the hardened milk.
Ingredients for the fillings and topping:
-
8tbsp icing sugar
-
500ml readymade custard
-
8tbsp white rum
-
Juice and zest of 2 limes
-
400g raspberries
-
200g raspberry jam
-
150ml double cream
-
Desiccated coconut for sprinkling on top (optional)
woww…yummy cake!!! happy birthday to your DAD:-)
This looks amazing!! You know its my birthday in September right?!
