Method
Step 1 of 5
Mix custard powder and 2 tablespoons caster sugar with a little milk to make a smooth paste.
Step 2 of 5
Put milk and dark chocolate into a saucepan and stir in custard powder paste. Bring slowly to the boil, stirring constantly until chocolate melts and custard thickens. Cool.
Step 3 of 5
Split each layer of a unfilled sponge cake in half through the centre. Sandwich together with chocolate custard and whipped cream.
Step 4 of 5
For a pretty frosted look, lightly brush some fresh berries and mint leaves with a little lightly whisked egg white. Don't make fruit too wet as that will dissolve the sugar.
Step 5 of 5
Roll in remaining caster sugar to coat. Leave to dry. Top cake with frosted berries, mint leaves and dust with icing sugar.
