I got creative with the flavors. Made blueberry and pure maple syrup, pineapple and cinnamon, coconut and chopped walnuts, and chocolate-espresso.

Simple to follow recipe & the results were delicious - very similar to a classic bread pudding, even more so as I replaced the vanilla with cinnamon. Mine was cooked in just 30 mins but this could be down to my fan-assisted oven!

If you like custard, this is THE thing to do with stale cake (or in my case, really dry cakey cookies). I used craisins as the add-in with molasses cookie crumbs.

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!
