I hate to waste anything so love that this uses stale cake...this is a great recipe for using up leftovers and the flavour changes depending on which cake you use..wonderful..thankyou!

I made this recipe using some rich dark fruit cake that needed to be used up. Added a generous splash of brandy to the custard. Very good indeed.

I botched a batch of white chocolate blondies, and burnt them on the bottom. It seemed like a waste to throw them out. So I looked on recipezaar & found this recipe, tried it and the result was fantastic! Couldn't stop at one serve, it was so yummy.... thank you cookalot.
