First time making pesach here and while most things are going well, some cakes have not. Is there anything that can be done with dry, not so tasty cakes like a trifle or something like rumballs? I feel bad just throwing them away...
TIA

make a thick chocolate frosting with confectioners sugar, cocoa, vanilla, liquid...
crumble to cake into crumbs.
combine and form balls for rum balls.

I'd try a trifle - maybe with some of the instant pudding between and some fresh fruit? Or use the cakes as pie crust for a lemon meringue pie (or any other pie) or and ice cream pie or baked alaska...

Definitely make a trifle. Those always go over really well in my family. If you have a failed chocolate cake, layer the crumbled cake with a can of cherries and either vanilla pudding or whipped topping and garnish with a few cherries and crumbled chocolate flake bars. Deelish!! If your cake is vanilla, try layering with canned pineapple and vanilla pudding to which you've added a generous handful of shredded coconut. Who doesn't like pina colada trifle? And I'll be over in time for dessert Wink Wink

Thanks so much to all of you. There are 3 cakes so we can try these ideas, time permitting of course!
I like the trifle idea, catlady what do you mean by chocolate flake bars?

You can also mix it into vanilla ice cream.

If you use whips, you can just mix it into that.
