Recipe Notes

from Australia’s Best Recipes team

If you use a springform pan, let cake cool for a while, to allow the custard to set a little, before removing. I line the tin with baking paper enough to go halfway up the sides to prevent any spillage. Very simple, quick and delicious. Use fresh or frozen berries.
