Origin: London, England
Source: Isabella Beeton, 1861
Ingredients
- 12 stale small sponge-cakes
- raisin wine
- 1/2 lb jam
- 1 pint custard No. 1423
Instructions
- Soak the sponge-cakes, which should be stale (on this account they should be cheaper), in a little raisin wine;
- arrange them on a deep glass dish in four layers, putting a layer of jam between each, and pour round them a pint of custard, made by recipe No. 1423, decorating the top with cut preserved fruit.
