10 Recipes to Make with Store-Bought Sponge Cake

Grilled cake slices

When grilled, store-bought pound cake slices develop a smoky flavor and crispiness. To create dark markings, brush both sides of the slices with butter, place them on a medium-high grill, and leave them untouched for now. When they begin to smoke, flip them with a spatula. Cook for only 1-2 minutes per side.

Kebabs with grilled biscuit

Thread buttered cake slices onto skewers, piercing the crust, not the flesh. Alternate with slices of apricot or other summer stone fruit and grill. Remove from the grill, top with goat cheese or whipped cream cheese and garnish with mint.

Banana pudding with sponge cake

Cut grilled cake slices into 1-inch squares, then layer them, alternating with pudding and banana slices, for a summery take on the classic American dessert.

Sponge cake croutons

Lightly butter the cake slices on both sides and cut into small squares. Place on a baking sheet and bake at 200°C for about 8 minutes until golden brown, stirring occasionally. Add the toasted pieces to a fruit salad or use as a topping for sweet summer soups.

Baked Berry Crumble

Crumble the remaining cake over fresh or frozen berries and bake until bubbly and golden brown.

Chocolate covered biscuit slices

Dip the slices halfway into the melted chocolate and decorate while still warm. Place on waxed paper and let the glaze set before serving.

Cupcake with jelly filling

Using a chopstick, make holes in the top of a whole cupcake at equal distances but varying depths. For a colorful touch, add a drop of natural food coloring to some of the holes. Then, pour the warm jelly over the cupcake, ensuring it gets into the holes. Refrigerate until the jelly sets, about 4 hours.

Cupcake with berries and whipped cream

Give your filled cupcake a truly sophisticated look by topping it with berries, whipped cream and mint leaves, then dusting it with powdered sugar.
