We never throw anything away, and this is a good example, as it’s a cake made from old bread. It’s a simple cake baked in a casserole dish and makes a great dessert. For the very old-school beggar’s cake, you wouldn’t even pit the cherries, but I recommend taking that extra step for a more enjoyable eating experience. You can make this cake even more elegant by adding chopped chocolate to the mixture and then spooning the anglaise sauce from the Île Flotante</
