Sift the flour and baking powder together. Sift into the egg mixture, a little at a time, and fold in gently using a metal spoon.
Add the melted butter and fold in.
Spoon into the prepared cake pan and bake for 15 – 20 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out clean.
Transfer to a cooling rack and cool completely.*To save time, use readymade sponge cakes.

Custard:

Mix the custard powder and the sugar together with 100 ml of the milk until smooth.
Heat the remaining milk. Stir in the custard mixture and whisk over low heat until thick.
Spoon into a mixing bowl and leave to cool to room temperature.
Whisk in a little more milk if it becomes too thick.
