Methods:

Firstly, prepare the custard by boiling the milk and in an adjacent bowl, mix the custard powder with 3 - 4 spoons of milk and add this liquid to the boiling milk and bring it to boil on a low flame, also add the sugar. This liquid will thicken a little after which you have to bring it off the flame and let it cool at room temperature until it cools down a little.
Now to make the sponge:
* Put all dry ingredients in 1 bowl and mix
* Put all wet ingredients in another bowl and make an emulsion mix
* Now mix the wet and the dry ingredients and mix with a beater for 2 mins,
* Pour into a greased mould and bake for 30 - 40 mins at 180 degrees and let it cool.
Now in a bowl add cubes of the cooled sponge, add the chocolate chips, cranberries, walnuts, and delmonte fruits as per taste decide your quantities and pour the slightly warm custard on top. Let the custard be absorbed by the sponge and then pour a little more custard and chill before serving.
