"We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. Preventing food waste is now more essential than ever. When it comes to stretching your sweet treats into new meals, even the most dried-out cake can be useful in your next dessert. Much like repurposing cake scraps into dessert sandwiches with a frosting filling, you can simply reuse leftover pieces of firmer style cakes to make a decadent and irresistible French toast."
"Use leftover pound cake or other confections of a similar texture and density for this. Start by cutting the cake into thick slices, sticks, or pieces. Next, toss the cake in a sweetened egg batter just like you would with any other French toast recipe, and cook it on the griddle to let it crisp up on the outside, leaving a tender and sweet cake on the inside."
Preventing food waste is essential; even dried-out cake can be repurposed into French toast. Use dense confections such as pound cake, cutting them into thick slices, sticks, or pieces. Dip the cake in a sweetened egg batter similar to traditional French toast, then griddle the pieces until crisp on the outside and tender inside. Dress the finished cake French toast with toppings like apple pie filling, lemon curd, or fresh lemon zest, and add fall spices or vanilla and cinnamon to the egg batter for extra flavor. Ensure the cake is dense enough to withstand the custard and griddle cooking.
