Preparation
Lay the sponge cakes in a large bowl so that the entire bowl is coated with cake. Sprinkle the sherry over the cake and let it soak.
Make custard, stir in the fruit (reserving a few pieces for decoration) and pour the mixture over the sponge cake.
Chill in the fridge for 2 hrs. Just before serving, top with whipped cream and decorate with reserved fruit.
Custard
Beat the eggs and add the sugar. Beat again and when the sugar has been incorporated, and the remaining ingredients, beating until well combined. Pour into a large saucepan and heat over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. (If the heat is too high, the custard will curdle.)
Slowly bring the custard to a boil and continue to stir until it thickens (about 10 min). Let cool before using. (If cooling it in the fridge, cover with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming.)
