2 x 315g store-bought Madeira cakes

1 tablespoon sherry
330g small strawberries
1L vanilla custard
Flaked almonds, toasted, to serve

Method

1.

Split two Madeira cakes in half. Spread the base of each with strawberry jam, then return the cake tops to bases. Cut each cake into 2-3cm pieces, then arrange pieces in the base of 6 serving glasses and sprinkle sherry over each serve.

Hull and halve strawberries. Scatter half the berries over the cake, then top with custard and remaining berries. Scatter with toasted flaked almonds and chill for at least 1 hour to allow the flavours to combine before serving.
