2 eggs
4 oz sugar
3 oz flour
1 small tin peaches in natural juice
Several tablespoonsful strawberry jam
Several fluid oz sherry
1/2 pint skimmed milk
1-2 tablespoonsful custard powder
1/4 pint (5 fluid oz) whipping cream (yes, I know, but it is
Christmas!)
1/4 pint fat-free natural yogurt
Flaked almonds and/or glacé cherries for decoration.
Whisk the eggs with 3 oz sugar until thick and pale, fold in flour, and bake at gas mark 6 (400 F, 200C) for about 10 minutes, until springy - actually, we use the microwave for cakes destined for trifle, it's quicker!
When cool, break into chunks and place in bowl. Add tinned peaches and sherry - you might not want to add all the juice from the peaches. Spread jam across the top of this. Make custard with the milk, custard powder, and remaining sugar, and spread on the top. Top the whole lot with the cream, which you whip until it is stiff, then you whisk in the yogurt in two or three goes. Decorate with almonds or cherries or whatever.
