If making potato cake from scratch. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F/ Gas Mark 4). Grease and line a small baking tin (approx. 20cm square). Mix butter and sugar together, then mix in eggs, milk and diced cooked Jersey Royal potatoes until smooth. Bake for around 20 mins until golden brown.
Place the cubed potato cake (or sponge fingers) into the base of a large glass bowl or divide amongst individual trifle dishes.
Sprinkle the sherry evenly over the potato cake, allowing it to soak in.
Spread the strawberry jam over the soaked potato cake.
Arrange half of the mixed berries over the jam.
Pour the custard evenly over the berries.
Gently spoon or pipe the Jersey clotted cream over the custard. Swirl in vanilla extract.
Decorate the top of the trifle with the remaining berries.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together.

For a more intense berry flavour, gently macerate the berries with a tablespoon of sugar for 15 minutes before adding them to the trifle.
If you don't have access to Jersey Royals, you can substitute with another type of sponge cake but the flavour will not be the same!
To make individual trifles, layer the ingredients in small glasses or jars.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves for an extra touch of freshness.
