Leftover sponge cake ideas

10 replies

I have a glut of leftover sponge cake in the freezer. I want to use it up, and am wondering about a variation on Rocky Road? We also have some leftover easter eggs I was thinking of throwing into the mix. Would it work?

We've already made trifle from some of it, and I have seen the tinned cherry recipe here which tempts me, but we have a lot of cake to use up.

TIA

Wouldn't sponge just crumble to crumbs in Rocky Road?

No other ideas though, cake and chocolate don't last ing in their basic form in this house!

Cake pops?

What is left over cake? Can you link?

As in, leftover from baking birthday cakes, before being iced. I would normally eat it, or leave it for the children to eat, but there were a few birthdays close together and it would have been thrown out otherwise so I froze it.

You can crumble it up and add as a topping to ice cream, or to cooked fruit.

I think you can also use cake where you would have used bread in bread and butter pudding, or French toast.

Also if you crumble it up and bake it into brownies, it gives a nice crunchy texture it the brownies.

We have leftover cake too sometimes, but only because I make far too much.

I went for cake pops and refrigerator cake.
But the easter egg chocolate was Cadburys, which did not melt prettily even on a low simmer. Now have chocolate goo with butter and syrup in it, resembling more of a fudge, spread over square cake pops (there was no way I was going to attempt making them into circles)! Luckily the DC are focused on the chocolate on cake concept rather than the look of them. I declined their kind offer to give one to the child coming to play later.

Shall save the rest of the eggs for fudge. I have a feeling I may be on the Jillian Michaels thread later.

Cake crumbs stirred into the jelly liquid when you make it up makes for a lovely puddingy treat when set... Smile

Leftover cake? Leftover Easter eggs?? Does. Not. Compute.

There were a lot of easter eggs. Nothing to do with my chucking some of them in a cupboard and erm, forgetting them.

There's considerably less now after a bodged job of cake pops and refrigerator cake.

I did save some for the cherry trifle though.
