Using up too dry coconut cake

Options
I made a couple of coconut cakes to use up dessicated co!!!! that was near its sell-by date. However, they have turned out quite dry and not that enticing to eat. I have frozen them for now, but will need to use them up. I am thinking
  • trifle - mandarin will go well with coconut
  • a cake equivalent of bread and butter pudding
  • an unusual tiramisu
any other good ideas?

  • I have the perfect thing! My Mum-In-Law adds any cake scraps/crumbs to a bag/tub in the freezer and when she has enough she makes a bakewell tart and it is always delicious! I don't have her recipe (baking is not my forte!) but a quick look on google found this...

    Trifle is also a popular one for left over sponge but I'm not so keen on sponge in my jelly! :rotfl:
  • Spread with jam and serve with lots of hot custard
    Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones that let in the light

    Make a caribbean trifle, a drop of rum if you like it, some mango coulis and pineapple jelly and pineapple pieces.
