Is that Napolean square, my mum used to make it with first a layer of pastry spread with raspberry jam, then a layer of mock cream, then sponge cake in the middle, another layer of mock cream, and a layer of pastry with the jam on the bottom layer of pastry, then she would ice it.
Yes that recipe does indeed do a spendid example of Napoleon Square. I also took the time to add the milk gradually to the gelatine as if a roux sauce. It isn't necessary bit it seemed to improve the texture a bit.

Thanks for the recipe but it does not say how much milk required in the Napoleon Squares.
