Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 200 grams sponge finger
- 12 liter (12.5 cups) sherry
- 14 liter (1 cup) whipping cream
- 2 packets custard powder
Fruits and Jams:
- 1 tablespoon peaches

Instructions
- Layer sponge fingers with strawberry preserves in the base of a transparent serving dish, creating a sweet foundation.
- Distribute chopped peaches evenly across the sponge base, setting aside six peach segments for final garnishing.
- Generously sprinkle sherry over the sponge fingers, allowing the cake to fully absorb the rich, aromatic liquid.
- Prepare custard with reduced water for a thicker consistency, then gently cool before pouring over the peach and sponge layer.
- Whip cream to soft peaks, then delicately spread across the custard surface, creating a luxurious creamy topping.
