I baked betty crockery chocolate fudge cake, a disaster kinda happened but some cake sponge has been rescued. It tastes fine, a little pheeka. I haven’t iced it because the cake is in no shape to be iced, I just have lots of pieces of sponge. Can you give me ideas of how to use the sponge in any other dessert, like chocolate trifle or something similar.
Re: Chocolate cake sponge ideas
make fruit & custard trifle with it…layer the cake pieces in bottom with fruits over it and custard on top.
Re: Chocolate cake sponge ideas
Thanks I did that with some of it. Cake chunks with tinned fruit and vanilla custard. It’s chilling now.
Re: Chocolate cake sponge ideas
Thanks fizza4u. So many recipes call for whipping cream which is not easily available in Pakistan. I have yet to see it.
Dry the chunks and make a bread pudding. I do it all the time with dried banana bread .
raania, you can freeze the choc sponge leftovers, when required, take them out , let stand at room temp till soft, place in individual serving bowls, put scooops of choc chip icecream, top with some homemade choc sauce.
Re: Chocolate cake sponge ideas
you can make a chocolate trifle with them. layer the sponge cake on the bottom, drizzle some coffee over it (without the milk of course), if you can get chocolate pudding.. layer that on top of it. you know you can make your own whipping cream. if you can get 1 cup heavy cream and 2 tablespoons sugar and using a blender - blend it - and you have whipping cream.
layer the whipping cream on the chocolate pudding, repeat the above steps or crush some caramel candy on it and you’re good to go!

You can just use cream of nestle or haleeb and whip it. You dont specially need the whipping cream
Re: Chocolate cake sponge ideas
raania betty crockers whipping cream is available now here and that too in many flavours :D. It must be available in lahore too!
Re: Chocolate cake sponge ideas
How did you ruin the betty crocker cake mix raania?
As far as I know and have seen, they always turn out perfect.. even when baked by first timers.
Re: Chocolate cake sponge ideas
-cake pops/truffles- get a can of prepared betty crocker or pillsbury icing , mix, shape and freeze. you can add some nuts /dessicated coconut too
-layer in a trifle
-freeze,crumble and mix in vanilla icecream+crushed oreos+chocolate sauce, freeze and serve
Re: Chocolate cake sponge ideas
I put the mixture in a smaller pan and it spilled out while in the oven, I put another pan underneath and the mixture kept spilling so I ended up having unshapely chunks of sponge.

I was thinking the same! it turned out perfect when I tried it on Hadeels and Khattis recommendation!
