Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8-inch round cake pan. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, mix milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla. Combine wet into dry ingredients, pour into pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes.
  2. While the cake cools, prepare the custard. Warm heavy cream in a saucepan. In a bowl, whisk egg yolks, sugar, and cornstarch. Gradually combine warm cream into yolks. Pour back into saucepan, cook over low heat until thickened, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in Firewhisky and cool slightly.
  3. Once the cake is cool, slice into two layers. Place the bottom layer in the trifle dish, brush with Firewhisky. Spoon custard over, add a layer of mixed berries. Repeat with the second cake layer, finishing with custard and berries.
  4. Dollop whipped cream on top and sprinkle with edible gold glitter. Chill for 1-2 hours before serving to meld flavors.
