When that's done, fill as desired (we tried apples, for a chocolate apple pie. I think custard would work nicely too) and bake accordingly for the filling you have used.
If you have any bright ideas for using failed or leftover cake, let us know!
My children love cooking. The eldest is a bit like me and likes to stray from the recipes when she gets used to them and wing it. Sometimes this works, and sometimes it most certainly doesn't! In particular, her last batch of cupcakes were SO dry! Some ingredient must have been omitted. But anyway, these cupcakes had been made with quality ingredients like organic coconut sugar and home grown eggs...I didn't want to just feed them to the chooks! After over a month of these muffins sitting in the freezer awaiting their sentence, I decided to look around for ideas for using failed cakes...and what do you know? Failed (or leftover cake...but that doesn't exist in our home!) cake can be turned into sweet pie crust! All you do is put the cake through a food processor with enough butter (was about 6 Tbsp in our case) to make a dough like consistency. I'll tell you now though, that I think there should have been an egg in the recipe too. The end result didn't bond like it should have. Then you just press your dough into your pie dish and blind bake at 200 C for 10 minutes.

Use it in a trifle. It absorbs the sherry and moisture from the custard and jelly too.

That is a good idea for using up cakes not eaten. I have many cakes here that go mouldy. Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.
