Cake

Information
  • if your cake sinks after baking, remove the centre with a pastry cutter and fill with fresh fruit and cream and serve as a dessert
  • you can use the centrepiece in the same way, but as a mini version 
  • failed English muffins can make a great alternative to bread for bread and butter pudding
  • microwave stale chocolate cake for about 20 seconds a slice and it'll become gooey hot chocolate fudge cake, this may also work with other types of cake
  • to freeze sliced cake, put greaseproof paper between each slice. This lets you remove a few slices at a time rather than the whole cake
  • to freeze a whole cake, wrap it in a double layer of cling film and foil
