Birthday Cake French Toast image

Hmmm...what to do with leftover birthday cake that's getting stale? Use it to make French toast! This is one of those either you love it or hate it recipes. It was sent to me in an email, and I haven't tried it yet, but it does sound interesting. Prep time is the chilling time in the refrigerator overnight.

Time 12h20m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 -8 slices leftover birthday cake, chilled in the refrigerator overnight
4 eggs
1/2 cup milk or 1/2 cup light cream
3 tablespoons sugar
1 dash cinnamon
2 -4 tablespoons butter, for frying

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk or cream, and sugar until the mixture is fully combined and lightly frothy on the edges.
  • Remove your cake from the refrigerator. It will work if you haven't chilled your cake too, but chilling it overnight keeps the frosting from melting all over when you pan fry the cake. Slice the cake into thick slices.
  • Put 2 to 4 tablespoons of butter into your frying pan. Heat the burner to medium-high, and let the butter melt. Once it is lightly bubbling, you're ready to start frying your cake slices.
  • Dip each cake slice in your egg mixture, coating it fully on both sides (go ahead and submerge each slice). Place the dipped slice directly in the frying pan; depending on the size of your pan, add 2 or 3 slices at one time.
  • Let each slice fry for a minute or so, until it is lightly coming up on the sides (you can lift a side gently with a spatula to see if it is browning). Turn over and repeat on the opposite side, being sure to turn gently so that you don't let the frosting smear across the pan.
  • Remove from the pan and transfer to a serving platter or directly to plates. Repeat with the remaining slices until you've finished them all. If desired, top with a confectioners' sugar glaze and sprinkles. Serve immediately.
