Gateau Africain (Must try AAA+++)

Wuah I've made this cake, nice taste...slurppppp. For the custard I added Mandarin oranges and a bit of oranges skin. For the garniss actually you can sprinkle it with whatever topping you like or leave it plain. The garnish you can use like cocoa powder, icing sugar, sweetened cocoa powder or cinnamon powder. The best for this cake its cocoa powder but I'm not using it coz I worried my kids don't like ( sometimes they complaint its too bitter if I put cocoa powder ).
