Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8-inch round pan, then lightly flour it.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, beat eggs and granulated sugar until pale and fluffy, then blend in melted butter and vanilla extract.
Gently fold in the dry ingredients along with almond flour, pour the batter into the prepared pan, and bake for 20-25 minutes.
Let the cake cool before cutting it into cubes.
While the cake cools, prepare your fresh raspberries and vanilla custard.
In a clean trifle bowl or individual serving glasses, layer the sponge cake cubes, raspberries, vanilla custard, and whipped cream.
Repeat layering to build height and texture until you reach the top, finishing with whipped cream.
Sprinkle with toasted almond slices and add fresh mint leaves if desired.
Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least one hour.
Serve chilled and admire the layers before indulging.

Notes

This dessert is best when served chilled.
You can use flavored whipped cream for added taste.
