Walnut & Orange Trifle

In a small saucepan gently dissolve the sugar into the water.

Using a grater, remove the zest from one of the oranges and add to the pan.

Simmer the zest for 5 minutes then remove from the sugar syrup and allow to cool.

Cut the cake into slices to form chunky fingers.

Place in the base of a serving dish.

Peel the oranges then cut into segments using a sharp knife.

Cover the cake with orange segments.

Spread the custard evenly over the oranges.

Whip the cream and spoon over the custard.

Decorate with the reserved orange zest and sprinkle with walnut pieces.

Chill well before serving.
