    Either split sponges and fill with lemon butter or strawberry jam and whipped cream, spread whipped cream over top of sponges and grate chocolate curls on top to decorate. Or just spread top of sponge with lemon butter or jam, top with whipped cream and chocolate curls. Freshly cut strawberries are also nice when in season.

  • I didn't incorporate the mix

    I didn't incorporate the mix well enough with the spatula so the custard powder was hard in places in the cake. Will try again though.
