Whisk the milk, egg yolks, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla in a saucepan.
Cook the custard over medium heat for 10-12 minutes until thickened, then leave it to cool.
Cut the sponge cake into cubes and slice the strawberries.
Arrange half the cake in a glass bowl and moisten it with half the orange juice.
Layer half the strawberries, raspberries, and cooled custard.
Add the remaining cake, orange juice, fruit, and custard in the same order.
Whip the cream to soft peaks and spread it over the trifle.
Chill the dessert in the refrigerator for 2 hours before serving.
💡 Tip: Do not pour the custard while it is hot; the fruit under the cream releases juice and the layers look cloudy in the glass bowl.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve trifle cold as a guest dessert with optional plain tea or a small Turkish coffee.
