I was disappointed with this Zuppa Inglese. The cake was dry and crumbly, and the custard was too thick and stodgy. The whipped cream was the only part of the dessert that I enjoyed.

This Zuppa Inglese was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still a good dessert. The cake was moist and flavorful, and the custard was rich and creamy. I think I would have liked it better if the whipped cream had been unsweetened.
