Top this classic trifle with toasted almonds, cream and berries

Ingredients

Victoria sponge, bought or made as you please
About 100ml sweet sherry
Whipping cream
Thick custard, bought or made
About 400g fresh strawberries and raspberries (or any other fruit you like)
Flaked almonds

Method: How to make sherry trifle

1. Chop the sponge cake roughly into cubes and layer the base of a big glass bowl with them.

2. Spoon the strawberries and raspberries on top. Sprinkle over the sherry and leave it to soak in for 10 minutes. Pour over the custard, whip the cream and spoon that on top of the custard.

3. In a dry frying pan, toast the flaked almonds until they go a bit golden-brown and smell toasty, and sprinkle on top of the whipped cream, which you can also dot with a few extra berries if you’re in the mood.
