can I do anything with this stale cake?

If it's still good enough, can't you just freeze it for another time?

Rum truffles are brilliant for using up old cake!

Hi tessie bear - how about Cake Pops? Quite popular at the moment I believe. Basic instructions/recipe here - obviously you already have the cake part http://www.goodtoknow.co.uk/recipes/514197/toffee-cake-pops

You could make endless variations.

Hi tessie,

I'm afraid that I'd probably just eat it. These threads have some ideas that may help:

We'll merge your thread once you've had more ideas here.

I would heat some up and smother in jam, curd, syrup or choc sauce and slather in lashings of custard :)mmmmmmm

This is a quick trifle by Nigella that I've been meaning to try, she buys cake especially for it but your cut offs at 30p a bag sound a fab bargain.:)

Again I agree with eating it one tea-time, accompanied by a good strong cup of tea.

This is a great idea, would suggest sprinkling with a little water before heating though if it is a little dry.

Much as I love trifle I think it is a waste of good cake which is tasty in it's own right! Stale works well though.
