Filling:
1. Mix all the ingredients except vanilla essence into a mixing bowl till smooth.

12.Peel off grease proof paper and leave it to cool on wire rack.

Assemble cake:
1. Turn sponge over and peel off grease proof paper together with crust. (You may use a sharp knife, slowly trim off crust. I didn't bother to remove the crust.)

3. Spoon custard into piping bag.
4. Tear a piece of plastic cling wrap and place it on table top.
5. Place sponge on it, pipe custard onto sponge and roll it up.
6. Twist both ends to secure roll. Do not roll too tight as sponge will flatten.
7. Arrange cake into a semi-circle/half round loaf pan.
8. Rest cake in fridge to stabilize it shape.
9. Remove plastic wrap and serve.
