Got half of the most delicious sponge cake DH got for his birthday, starting to go stale and would hate to waste it.

put custard on it and serve it for pudding! Custard hides a multitude if sins!

When I baked a batch of fairy cakes that were a bit overly done, I blitzed them into crumbs in the processor and mixed them with some buttercream and shaped into small balls. Then, I dipped them in chocolate and let them set - truffles.

A couple of quick and easy options.

Cut up and make into trifle sponges. Otherwise cut up and layer the bottom of a dish, top with ice cream and meringue, bake in oven - baked alaska.

Hi Anna,

I warm it in the microwave and serve with custard too. There are lots more ideas on this thread:

You use the cake to make the (trifle sponges bit). Then just add jelly, custard and cream. Simple as that.

spread some jam on it, or put jam in the bottom of a basin, cover with the sponge and give a couple of minutes in the mw,
hot jam sponge with custard, did it my self on Tuesday and it was blumming gorgeous.
