I had this dessert at a baby shower and literally couldn't stop eating it. It was amazing. Should have known the secret was homemade custard! My friend was kind enough to share the recipe and took a picture of the beautiful layers as well. As great as the picture is, it doesn't do it justice. The flavor is so good and you'll find yourself licking the bowl to get the last bit of custard! ;)
This recipe is by French Canadian cook Jean Paré

Raspberry Jam

1/4 cup custard powder (Birds Eye... see link below)
1/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup Milk

Make cake mix according to directions on box using 2- 8 inch round cake pans. Cool completely. Slice cake layers in half horizontally to make 2 thin layers each. Spread 2 layers with 1/4 cup jam each. Cut all 4 layers into cubes.
To make Custard:

To Make Trifle:

*You can substitute vanilla pudding for the custard but it definitely does not compare to a homemade custard!! :)
