I was looking at this chunk of bundt cake that was sitting on my counter (a butter cake mix that my girlfriend had really wanted me to make) and I just thought to make this.Butter cake, dipped in a mixture of egg, milk, vanilla and a pinch of salt. You know, french toast. But I sprinkled some crumbled bacon on it before frying.
And then I ate it with maple syrup. 
It was ridiculous. Ridiculously awesome. I'm going to make it again, repeatedly, but with pound cake. The sandwich loaf shaped slices would be better, they would hold more egg and bacon. And more bacon is a goal worth striving for, don't you think?This could just as easily be dessert as breakfast, since it is pretty rich and sweet.
And I do count this as breakfast kids, cake is a perfectly fine breakfast food. The way I see it, if donuts are ok to eat for breakfast, anything is.

Fabulously sinful! I love that whole sweet salty maple-ie combination. Great creation you came up with!
Never would have thought of this! Love the idea of bacon in it and my family will go nuts for this breakfast treat!
I have toasted pound cake for breakfast, but have never thought of taking it a step further to making it French Toast. The bacon really makes it. Great idea for a weekend brunch.
I would never think to use cake for French toast - I like how your mind works! The salty/sweet element is great too I'm sure.
Cake is always appropriate for breakfast. Cake and bacon? Bring it!
I love the way you think man. Serious food porn for breakfast.
This is too awesome! I love the idea of a cake french toast and of course sounds so good with bacon!
Wow looks so yummyyyyyy!
You SO naughty! Ohhhh how I love the way your decadent mind works. I know this is fabulous. And you're right, pound cake will kill it! So glad I stopped in today. I do sandwiches on my blog. Nothing serious, but lots of fun. I'm following you now. Keri (a.k.a. Sam)
Great idea - I bet it really was delicious!
Bacon makes everything better. What a perfect recipe.
Oh be still be heart! This has to be one of the most incredible creations I've been! I like how you think!
What a clever way to use a bundt cake. I'll wager this is really good.
This is quite possibly both the best and worst thing I have ever seen. I love it.
Great idea. Kudos.
I love the flavors of bacon and maple syrup together.
Looks fabulous... sorry I haven't been around for awhile, I moved to the US Virgin Islands (I still giggle when I say that) for six months, and it is taking awhile to get settled. But i do think I am caught up, and will be back with new postings...
Come take a look at my new blogs of Island life!
Everything is better with Bacon... that one has a little happy face!

Mmmmm sinfully good! I love salty bacon with maple syrup!
I'm with you - I don't think certain foods should be classed as "not breakfast"! This looks such a treat...and a totally genius idea :D
Wait a minute. The butter cake isn't sweet? This is craziness! Well, I do love to try it! Lol
You are right, if doughnuts count as breakfast, this should count too. I think you are a little bit of an evil genius, wouldn't you say? Mwah ha ha ha!
Wicked! I love it! Never thought of cake-french toast... with BACON?! Even better!
Butter cake french toast sounds absolutely delicious! I'll trade you some of this for some donut muffins!
You are over the top, my friend! ;-)

Je découvre un joli blog.
Je reviendrai.
See soon
I could sooooo go for some of that right now!!
The salami and cream cheese kept me going until dinner. Thanks, as always, for visiting. And I still think you are an evil genius for using cake for french toast.
Just stopping buy again to thank you for your visit. I commented on your recipe yesterday.
You are very clever and creative! It looks and sounds perfect!
OMG really sinful treat u've created! Love the idea.
Oh wow, these look so delicious! I am eating them with my eyes!
Oh my this looks fab-u-lous!!! Love your blog!!!
Oh..very creative! Next time I'll use my leftover poundccake~~thanks!
Omg, this is too funny! It's like making French toast out of day old bread. You were just repurposing leftovers to make something delicious and provide a jump start to your day. Love it.
I'll be dropping bright and early tomorrow. Please have some ready and waiting for me, okay?? :)
I like how you think! This looks over the top delicious!
i would choose this over doughnuts any day! loooooooove bacon... especially paired with french toast.
Bob. Bob. Bob. This is too much. How can I stay on my diet when you're showing me stuff like this?? (LOL, said she, the chocolate pimp)
Seriously, this looks wonderful. I love the face on the one in the second photo. How could you eat that face?? Too cruel.
Now I'm wondering if you could use pound cake to make a grilled bacon sandwich. Hmmm...
Great idea!
Oh, so you went there. Butter cake and bacon - you have a wickedly delicious mind!
This totally reminds me of something paula would make. I always love your creativity!
