Classic Jam & Coconut Traybake with Custard 🍓🥥

Few puddings can transport you back to childhood quite like this one. A golden sponge, still warm from the oven, spread with a glossy layer of jam and topped with a snowy scatter of coconut — all drowned in ladles of steaming custard. It’s the very essence of school dinners, served on a plastic tray with the chatter of the canteen echoing around. The best part? That moment when the custard seeps into the sponge, turning it into a warm, jammy pudding. Now the real question — do you eat the sponge first or dive straight into the custard river?

Ingredients
For the sponge

🧈 Unsalted butter: 200g, softened
🍚 Golden caster sugar: 200g
🥚 Medium eggs: 4
🌾 Self-raising flour: 200g
🥛 Whole milk: 2 tbsp
🍋 Vanilla extract: 1 tsp

For the topping

🍓 Raspberry jam: 200g
🥥 Desiccated coconut: 50g

For the custard

🥛 Whole milk: 500ml
🌾 Custard powder: 2 tbsp
🍚 Caster sugar: 2 tbsp

Method

🔥 Preheat the oven to 180°C (fan). Grease and line a 20 × 30 cm traybake tin.

To make the sponge

🧈 Beat the butter and sugar together until pale and fluffy.
🥚 Add the eggs one by one, whisking well each time. Stir in the vanilla.
🌾 Fold in the flour, then add the milk to loosen into a soft batter.
🍰 Spoon into the tin, smooth the top, and bake for 20–25 minutes until golden and a skewer comes out clean. Cool slightly.

To assemble

🍓 Spread the jam evenly over the sponge while still warm.
🥥 Scatter over the desiccated coconut.

To make the custard

🌾 Mix the custard powder with a little cold milk to form a smooth paste.
🔥 Heat the remaining milk in a pan until steaming, then whisk in the custard paste and sugar.
🍮 Stir gently until thickened and smooth.

🍽 Slice the sponge into squares and serve warm with a generous pour of custard.

Serving Information

⏱ Prep Time: 15 minutes
🔥 Cooking Time: 25 minutes
🕒 Total Time: 40 minutes
🍴 Servings: 12 squares
🔥 Calories: ~300 per square (with custard)

Tips

🥥 Try strawberry, blackcurrant, or apricot jam for variety.
🍋 Add lemon zest to the sponge for a fresh lift.
🥶 Bake the sponge ahead and freeze; just defrost before topping with jam and coconut.

Simple, sweet, and endlessly nostalgic — this traybake is proof that the classics never lose their charm. 🍓🥥🍮
