Directions

  1. 1Add two packets of butter cake mix to a large glass bowl.
  2. 2Follow the packet instructions for how many eggs, oil, butter, or milk you need to add.
  3. 3Add 4 teaspoons of custard powder to the mix.
  4. 4Mix all the ingredients with a hand mixer until well combined.
  5. 5Pour the mixture into a lined baking tray.
  6. 6Spread it out evenly with a spatula.
  7. 7Pop it in the oven at 160 degrees Celsius for about 30 to 35 minutes or until cooked through.
  8. 8While the cake is cooking, prepare the jelly by adding a packet of raspberry jelly to a measuring jug with hot water, as per packet instructions, to make about 500ml of jelly.
  9. 9Whisk the jelly until dissolved and let it cool on the bench.
  10. 10Once the cake is done, pull it out of the oven and use a chopstick to poke holes all over the cake.
  11. 11Pour over your jelly mix nicely and slowly so it seeps through those holes.
  12. 12Pop the cake into the fridge for an hour or two to chill and set.
  13. 13Create a whipped cream icing by combining 300ml of thickened cream, 4 to 5 tablespoons of icing mixture, and a dash of vanilla in a bowl.
  14. 14Whisk until it creates stiff peaks, about 4 to 5 minutes.
  15. 15Grab your cake out and spread your icing smoothly and evenly over the top.
