將海綿蛋糕切成適當的片狀。這是個很棒的食譜，可以完美的利用吃剩的海綿蛋糕。

Caster sugar.

這是不含油脂的海綿蛋糕。蛋糕邊格外的酥脆，因為在倒入蛋糕糊時

最適合葡萄酒蛋糕使用的蛋糕。

將海綿蛋糕整齊排在玻璃碗底部，倒入白蘭地

接著塗抹果醬。你能用你喜歡的。這是管家Warwick's太太手裡最好的

This is an excellent recipe

薑糖或是水果蜜餞切碎，均勻地放上去，接著是

because when I made it

接下來準備些卡士達醬。加進兩片明膠

I lined the tin with butter

或是兩湯匙玉米粉，讓它更合用。我要加入一些杏仁粉，使卡士達醬

and then sprinkled it with fine sugar.

更加濃稠

It makes it an excellent cake for using in trifle.

疊上你的葡萄酒蛋糕

Line a glass bowl

葡萄酒蛋糕有各式各樣的作法。有些作法過於便利，只使用卡士達醬

with the sponge cake

還有水果罐頭，做出的成品差強人意。除此之外，就像現在我們做的，嚴謹地將

and than pour on the brandy.

材料組合起來。

Now spread on some jam.

開始打發鮮奶油。當你攪打鮮奶油時，加點糖進去

Any flavour will do

你可以使用擠花袋，使鮮奶油層層疊疊，直到有一定的高度。

搞定！現在準備裝飾。

Mrs Warwick's finest strawberry jam.

裝飾上，我用了不同種類的糖漬水果以及可食用花卉。

She made it last year

小心地選擇裝飾用的花卉，你得確定那是

it is very good.

可食用的

Once you've chopped your crystallised ginger,

我們這裡有些紫羅蘭、黃花九輪草。還放上了

or fruit, layer it on evenly

歐白芷和薑糖。糖漬花瓣有櫻草、月見草

and then add biscuits.

最後一種是糖漬三色堇

These are sponge biscuits,

我們完成啦。奧得利莊園常吃的葡萄酒蛋糕。

but you could use macaroons

or ratafia biscuits.

make a nice layer of these

and then pour on the sherry.

Leave it to soak for ten to fifteen minutes.

Next if you haven't already,

make some custard.

Add two sheets of gelatine,

or two tablespoons of corn flour

to make it set properly.

I'm then going to add some almonds

to make it even thicker

Then layer it on to your trifle.

There are many, many different recipes for trifle.

Some that are easy that contain packet custard

and tinned fruit

the not very good ones.

And others, like this,

for the carefully put together.

Next start whipping your cream.

Once you've whisked the cream

add in a little sugar then you can pipe it.

Building it up layer by layer

until you've got quite a lot of height.

And there you are.

Now it's ready for decoration.

for the decorationsI have used a variety of

candied fruit and candied edible flowers.

Be very careful when choosing flowers

to decorate dishes such as this

you must make sure they're edible.

So here we have some wild violets,

and we have some cowslips.

I've also put on some

angelica and some candied ginger.

The candied flowers are

primulas,

primroses,

and here the very last

candied pansy.

And there we are.
