RECIPE:

100 g margarine
100 g caster sugar
100 g flour
1.5 teaspoons of raising powder
2 medium eggs
25 g cocoa powder
2 tablespoons of milk
for custard: one packet of custard (vanilla cream)
                   half of the recommended volume of milk (usually 250 ml)
    40 g sugar
for topping: strawberries
whipped cream
    

Preheat oven to 180oC. Place all ingredients into a bowl and mix with an electric whisk until you get light and creamy cake mixture. Grease and line 20 cm round cake tin and pour the dough. Bake about 30-35 minutes until the cake springs back when lightly toughed. Let the cake cool down slowly in open oven. Meanwhile prepare custard by mixing the powder for vanilla cream with milk and sugar on low heat. When the cream starts to boil it gets rapidly very thick. Remove it from the heat, you can even transfer it to a cold bath and keep mixing it until the cream gets cold. Constant stirring is important to avoid lumps and creating dried crust on top of the cream. Spread the custard over the top of chocolate sponge cake, decorate with whipped cream, strawberries or any other fruits that you like. Bon appetite, enjoy…!
