HELP how to rescue an undercooked cake!

johnswife

While i was out this afternoon my daughter decided to cook a "simple" sponge cake, she used 3 eggs!!

The layers are about 1/2 cm thick stuck together with jam but when i cut a slice it isn't cooked through and inedible.

i don't want to throw it away, can i put it back in the oven with the jam and sort of make it into a spnge pudding???

Any suggestions?

No idea if this would work, but I'd undo the layers, scrape off as much of the jam as possible, then bake it in a low oven to dry it out. If nothing else, you'll probably end up with something that's suitable for trifle sponges.

You could have it as a pudding with custard.

Also have you tried putting it in the microwave for a minute or two? You can cook a jam pudding in there in a matter of minutes.

I would zap it in the microwave in short bursts and have it with custard..just watch out for the jam getting too hot and burning its self or you .....

I'd eat it- I love uncooked cake batter:D

I think a blast in the micro and then custard sounds like a good plan.
