A colleague at work told me a quick method of making a really delicious trifle. I thought I would share this with you.
Cut up a Madeira cake into small slices and put at the bottom of the bowl. You can use Madeira cake or sponge fingers or anything of the sort. Soak the cake with orange juice (use good quality orange juice like Tropicana). Add raspberries or strawberries if you like.
Leave the cake to soak for about 15 mins, the longer the better. Add more orange juice if you feel like the cake is still dry.
Empty the contents of one mascarpone cheese into a bowl. Beat until the cheese is soft. Add one 500ml tub of custard; you can use vanilla pod custard or just normal flavoured custard. Make sure the custard is cold. Beat the mascarpone and custard together until the two have mixed.
Add the custard topping to the cake. Finish off with raspberries.
Leave in fridge for an hour or so before eating.
