Recipe tips / Prepare ahead
You will need a 25 x 20 x 3 cm baking tin which is greased, floured and lined with baking paper for this recipe.

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C, 160°C fan oven, Gas mark 4.
Step 2

Step 3
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 25-35 minutes until golden brown. Leave the cake to cool on the baking sheet.
Step 4
While the cake is in the oven, make the custard cream: heat the milk to a simmer and mix the custard powder in a bowl with the sugar, egg and 4 tbsp warm milk. Pour the mixture into the hot milk, stirring constantly. Bring the custard to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes on a low heat. Stir regularly. Allow the custard to cool while stirring occassionally to prevent a skin from forming on the top.
Step 5
Meanwhile clean the strawberries and halve them.
Step 6
Whip the cream until stiff. Fold the whippes cream into the cold custard (if the custard is warm or hot the cream will melt, making the cream too thin!)
Step 7
