Directions

Sponge

Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan and line a 20cm x 30cm baking tin with greaseproof baking paper.
Cream together the caster sugar and baking spread in a bowl until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs, along with half the flour and beat together to combine.
Mix in the milk and vanilla extract.
Fold in the custard powder and remaining flour until fully incorporated.
Add the mixture to the baking tin and bake in the oven for approximately 25 mins.
Leave to cool in the tin for 10 mins then transfer to a wired cooling rack.

Cream Topping

Add the cream and icing sugar to a bowl and whip together until it starts to hold its shape.
Spread the whipped cream on top of the cooled sponge and smooth the top with an angled palette knife.
Place the apricot halves on top and sprinkle with poppy seeds.
Slice into 12 portions and serve.

Tips

To create a smooth layer of cream, use a warm angled palette knife. You can do this by using a kitchen blow torch or by running the knife under hot water.
Using a sharp knife, score the top of the cake to outline your portions. This will make it easier to know where to place the apricot halves.
