• In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, spices, salt and Horlicks Original, briefly stir to combine. Add to the wet ingredients alternating with milk until fully incorporated and smooth.
• Pour into a prepared tin and bake for 50-60 min, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.

• In a separate bowl, make the custard filling. Beat the double cream and sugar until soft peaks form, then fold in the chilled vanilla custard.
• Slice the cooled cake into cubes.
