- Cut the ginger cake into slices and arrange at the bottom of a trifle dish.
- Cut the pears into slices and layer on top of the cake.
- Dissolve the sugar in the cider over a low heat then pour over the cake and pears; allow to absorb. I usually allow at least 30 minutes.
- Pour cooled custard over the moist cake base and let set leave in the fridge overnight if you have the time.
- Decorate with the whipped cream, sliced toasted almonds and glazed ginger.

Altered ingredient amounts. I made the Jamaica Ginger cake off this site for the base, use half in the trifle and served the other half with coffee. - 13 Mar 2010 (Review from Allrecipes UK & Ireland)
