I don't like cooking but I like to prepare sweet and cakes, and I'm quite good in that, so there a very simple cake that you can make when you have old bread and don't know what to do with it: (for the weight i use italian measure unit, so "g" is for gram, "l" for litre) 150 g of stale bread 1/2 l of milk 80 g of butter 1 egg 150 g of sugar currants and/or candied fruit as you want almond or pine-seed cocoa grate the bread and put it in a recipient with butter and very hot milk; when it's cold, add the sugar, the egg and mix. then add currants, candied-fruits, almond or pine-seed, and cocoa. cook it for 25-30 minutes (it depends from your oven)
