Ingredients

4 cups cubed chocolate cake
3 cups mixed fruits chopped
2 tbsp chopped nuts any kind (optional)
1 cup whipping cream

For the custard

1 cup milk
2-3 tsp custard powder
2 drops vanilla extract
1-2 tbsp sugar

For garnish

1 banana sliced
1 tsp cocoa powder

Instructions

First step is to cook the custard

Add the milk, custard powder, vanilla, and sugar in a bowl
On low heat, bring to boil, then lower flame to simmer and stir continuously until the mixture thickens
Remove from heat and set aside to cool completely
Once the custard has cooled, whip the cream until soft peaks form

Assembling the trifle

Take a wide bowl. Glass is preferable since you can see the layers through it. You can also set these in individual trifle glasses
First, layer half the cake cubes
Then add a layer of fruits
Follow this with half the custard
Top up with some cream
Now add another layer of cake and follow up with the other layers
End with the cream, then add a layer of sliced bananas and sprinkle the cocoa powder
Refrigerate for 3-4 hours

To serve

Scoop out servings into a glass bowl and serve chilled with more cocoa powder dusting on top

Notes

- You can use any fruits, I used a can of mixed fruits
- You can also use any type of cake to make trifle, chocolate tastes great with cherries, banana, apple, etc
- I used vanilla-flavoured custard powder
- Add more sugar to the custard if you prefer
- The cream doesn't need to get stiff, just soft peaks or until it can be scooped out and layered
