COFFEE CUSTARD SPONGE
PLAIN SPONGE (CAN PURCHASE EASILY).

Slice horizontally into two pieces. (Can do into three if able without breaking up) Leave then for later use.
Coffee Essence
Ingredients
3 x Tablespoons of Sugar. 2 x Tablespoons of Coffee. 1 x teaspoon Coffee Essence. 1 x Cup of Hot ( boiling ) water.
Method
Make as if making Cup of Coffee. With Sugar, Coffee and Coffee Essence then pour in boiling water to fill cup. ( Use large Coffee Cup )
Custard filling for Sponge
Ingredients
125 grams Unsalted Butter. 1/2 x Cup of Castor Sugar. 3 x Tablespoons Plain Flour. 1 x Tablespoon Corn Flour. !/2 x Cup of Custard Powder. 1 and a 1/2 litres of Milk. Few drops of Vanilla Essence. 3 x Egg Yolks.
Method
Melt Butter, add Flour, Sugar, stir till smooth remove from heat. Add Milk, Corn Flour, Custard Powder, Egg Yolks. Beat with Beater till all mixed and creamy. Cook then in Microwave for about 15 minutes. Stir occasionally till custard thick and smooth.
Making Finished Product
Put cut Sponge (one layer only) in bottom of chosen receptacle. Teaspoon over made Coffee Essence and then a quantity of custard to cover all. (keep enough for top) Put on top layer of Sponge and repeat process. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
Further Note;
It's probably easiest to use a receptacle the same shape as your sponge for this recipe. If using instead an oblong or square receptacle simply cut sponge to shape and put overs somewhere in the overall finished product.

Hi Lynham
Yumm is right
It is one of my favourite deserts. Always goes down well with visitors or when having a BBQ!
Hope you try it out. I think you'll be pleased if you do.
Regards
