How to Make Cheaters Vanilla Slices Australian

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line a 20x30cm baking tin.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornflour, and baking powder.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared tin.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
  8. While the cake is baking, prepare the custard. Whisk together the custard powder, sugar and a little milk until smooth. Gradually whisk in the remaining milk until smooth.
  9. Cook the custard over medium heat, stirring constantly until it thickens. Remove from heat and stir in the butter until melted and smooth.
  10. Allow the custard to cool completely before spreading it over the cooled cake.
  11. Spread the icing evenly over the custard layer.
  12. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the slices to set before cutting and serving.
