In a medim saucepan, stir together the custard powder and 1/4 cup sugar. Slowly add milk, whisking to prevent lumps. Bring to a boil, until completely cooled, about 10 minutes. Mix in the yogurt and vanilla.

3
To assemble the trifle: Spread 1/2 cup of the custard on the bottom of a 3L-4L glass bowl. Stand some of the strawberries in a ring against the sides of the bowl. Add half of the cake cubes.
4
Drizzle with 1 tablespoons liqueur, if using, over the cake. Add half the berries and half the remaining custard. Repeat layers.
5
Recipe can be made ahead up to this point. Cover and chill in the refrigerator overnight.
6
To finish, lightly toast almonds in a skillet over medium-low heat until golden. Cool to room temperature. Using an electric mixer, whip the cream to stiff peaks, gradually beating in remaining sugar. Spread the whipped cream on top of the trifle. Sprinkle with toasted almonds and serve.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
