I'm not sure if this is exactly what you want, but anyway...
In my family (Australians), we make trifle (I'm not sure of the spelling,
it's that kind of recipe), as follows:

Take one cake that stuck to the tin.  Soak in sherry (or marsala,
or something alcoholic, though you can use orange juice if you must)
for a couple of hours.  Make a vanilla custard.  Layer the custard and
cake with some fresh or canned fruit (peaches are good) in a large bowl.
Chill.

If you're feeling really decadent, serve with fresh whipped cream.
Not recommended for dieters.

Variations are endless -- use different kinds of cake, different flavours
in the custard, whatever fruits you can get (yes, you can add nuts..)
