Method

Preheat the oven to gas 4, 180°C, fan 160°C. Grease and line a loose-bottomed, 20cm square cake tin. Put the spread and sugar in a bowl and mix with an electric whisk until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, whisking well between each addition. Sift over the flour and cocoa powder. Fold until just combined.
-
Spoon into the tin and level the surface. Bake for 30-35 mins until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
-
Leave to cool in the tin for 5 mins, then carefully remove and cut into 9 squares. Serve warm with the custard, heated to pack instructions, and scatter with sprinkles.
