I can't say I know what a continental cake is? And google isn't helping.

Or do you mean continental cheese cake?

It's an Italian sponge cake with custard filling. It's called zuppa inglese in Italian.

Taste has a recipe for a Tia Maria version which of course you could always leave out.

ETA: if you have an iPhone or iPad, the epicurious app has the recipes for the pastry cream but not for the cake. I also found one on big oven but it won't let me copy and paste unfortunately.
