2 t vanilla extract
2 1/2 T cornflour
1 cup cream

If there is one cake I can not pass up, it is the Custard Square, otherwise known as Vanilla Slice. With the wonderful result from cooking custard in a steam oven I felt sure I could easily make myself a batch at home relatively easily and I was right.
You can change the flavouring of the icing to whatever you wish, by replacing the lemon juice with passion fruit or cocoa or raspberries. This recipe makes 5 pieces, but if you double the recipe you could make this in a 20cm cake tin for more custardy delight!
