Airfryer Danish LAYER cake

what to do with all the leftover pastry creme (aka thick custard!) I wondered. Well, it took a nanosecond to decide on a layer cake! so looked up a recipe and found this one, it essentially is a victoria sponge but with add ons! and was perfect to use up the remaining HUGE amount of pastry creme I had left after the vanilla crowns.

Hope you enjoy and thanks for watching...

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

200g self raising flour  
200g caster sugar (or granulated)  
200g softened butter (or margerine)  
4 eggs, beaten  
1 tsp baking powder  
2 tbsp milk  
1 tsp vanilla extract 
30g strawberry jam 
pastry creme aka thick custard (leftover from vanilla crowns recipe)

Make the cake (usual method - see link to the Victoria sponge vlog) once cooled, trim the top off one to create a flat surface and cut both in half, it all needs gentle handling.  Pop the bottom onto a plate, and spread the pastry creme on top (thickly), gently put another layer of cake on top. Spread jam (raspberry or strawberry) and another generous layer of pastry creme on top.  Lower the last layer (apart from the top) on top and spread a thick layer of pastry creme on top.  Lower the top of the cake and dust with icing sugar or if you want to take it further, cover the whole cake in buttercream.

Baking instructions:
BAKE setting 140c/280f 45mins (cake is cooked when it hits internal temp of 98c/210f) Airfryer temps all similar no matter the brand, just check in the last 10 mins as some are quicker than others.   Leave to cool completely before cutting in half for layers.  Once assembled...... Enjoy!
