Let the cake cool and then turn it out of the tin.
If just the top of the cake is burnt then slice it off with a bread knife and discard it. If the whole cake is burnt right through then you'll have to throw the whole cake away or feed it to birds or animals - put it in the compost.
A good portion of the cake may taste and smell okay but it may now be rather dry - no problem.
Turn it into a trifle by slicing it, laying the slices in a dish, sprinkling them with juice or alcohol and then adding layers of fruit, custard and whipped cream.
Serve it as a dessert with ice-cream and Hot Chocolate sauce.
Cut the whole cake into slices and layer it with icing or with whipped cream.
Crumb the cake in the food processor and keep the crumbs in the freezer to add bake into cookies, crumbles, granolas etc. Use them with melted butter to make cheesecake bases.
You should assess why the cake burned: did you forget it? Was the oven too hot? Did you set the right temperature and place the cake on the middle shelf of the oven? Is the oven working properly? Did you use a larger, flatter tin than the recipe called for? Did you include all the ingredients and in the correct proportions?
