It was, indeed, a disaster but I found a way to not waste the ragged chunks of cake that refused to exit the cake pans in a cake like manner! There are many, many such recipes out there but this one was easy to tweak to meet my immediate requirements.
Cake Crumb Cookies
3 ½ cups cake crumbs
4 egg yolks
½ teaspoon baking powder
6 tablespoons juice or cold water
½ cup shortening
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
½ cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon cloves
½ teaspoon allspice
Dash nutmeg
½ cup chopped nuts
½ cup chocolate chips
Crumble the leftover cake into a mixing bowl until you have fine crumbs. Add everything except for the nuts and chocolate chips. Beat until well combines. Fold in the nuts and chocolate chips. Drop by spoonfuls (amount depending on how big a cookie you want.) on a vegetable-oil sprayed baking sheet.
Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for approximately 8-10 minutes. Makes about four dozen cookies depending on size you make the cookies.
I discovered this recipe and adjusted it to my tastes because my baking pans decided to not yield up my cake layers! Had to figure out something to do with a big bag of broken cake pieces. After using cake crumbs in recipes, I keep hoping for another sticking disaster so I can make crumb cakes or cookies!
Ideas . . .
It doesn’t matter what flavor cake crumbs you have. Just adjust the spices and nuts, etc. to suit it.
A drizzle of icing won’t hurt the cookies, either.
If you are dealing with spice cake crumbs, you might want to reduce or omit the spices listed in the above recipe.
