Rubbery Angel Food Cake

I purchased a small loaf angel food cake that was in the day old bakery rack at the store. Unfortunately, when cut, it turned out to be very rubbery and tough. It took my electric knife to cut it! Any ideas on using this in combination with other ingredients so I won't have to just throw it away?

Thanks,
Sandie

Toast it! Brush with melted butter and add sliced peaches or other fruit.

Break the cake into bite-size (or slightly larger) chunks, and fill the bottom of a 9" x 12 baking dish.

Get a family size package, or two small packages of strawberry jello, some Cool Whip, and a package of frozen, sweetened, sliced strawberries.

Make up the jello as directed, but use only half the amount of water it says to use. You want the strong flavor of strawberry, so the jello must be double-strength. Dissolve the frozen strawberries in the strawberry jello, and pour over the cake. Put this in the fridge, until it sets up. Finally, frost with the Cool Whip, for a yummy, strawberry dessert!

If you don't like strawberry, you can do this with any sweetened, sliced fruit. You might try peaches, in peach jello, or cherries, in cherry jello, etc.

No more rubbery angel food cake!

Why not cut it up, add some whipped cream, chocolate pudding and chocolate chips and make a nice trifle?

Been there, done that, got the tshirt, Sandie! Sorry for your problem. I store it in a ziplock or tupperware with a piece of bread to soften it overnight. Or, I put ice cream and strawberries, etc. on top of a slice of it and the juices soften it right up. Either way, it is going to taste great!
