Jam and Coconut Sponge with Pink Custard

Jam and coconut sponge with pink custard is a school dinner classic, and this version is scaled to a 5 inch tin. The pink custard is made with strawberry blancmange powder, exactly as it was back then.

This is a nostalgia bake, I always looked forward to seconds when this was on the menu at school.

I baked using the Ninja Foodie 9 in 1 using the “Bake” Function.
