hi all
yesterday I made black saturns simple fruit cake and for once I didnt eat it all the same day! I have however managed to leave it out overnight on the kitchen side & its become stale and slightly hard
Is there anyway I can salvage it or turn it into something else? Or is it fit for the bin ?

So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:

Hi, Lynz! I warm up my muffins for 30 sec in the microwave, but you then need to eat immediately, or they'll go staler and inedible. Alternatively, make into a tiramisu thingy, or trifle if this is your thing. I might freeze it for making into a pudding later, but with your imminent move, this might not be convenient.
HTH.

Cut it into thin slices and use alternately with slices of bread to make a yummy bread pudding. (Even nicer if you spread the bread with marmalade first!)

Crumble up the cake and take a small amount and roll into small balls (use a tiny amount of sherry/brandy if too dry) and pop onto a tray for 30mins to set. Then dip into melted chocolate, yummy!Our days are happier when we give people a bit of our heart rather than a piece of our mind.

I've found some stale-ish sultana buns in the freezer. Thought I might make Tipsy Cake. Anyone else have any ideas for stale cake?

I can't think of anything else except tipsy cake, or trifle as we call it:D
You could try soaking it in strong sweet coffee and covering with whipped cream. Not sure the sultanas would work with coffee?0 -

So it is, and I've not even started on the sherry
In my defence I've never made trifle and don't much like it. Maybe I'll prefer Tipsy Cake :rotfl:

What's stale cake?
I don't understand - cake's lucky to get cold, never mind stale!
If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.0
