Steps:

• Place bread cubes in lightly greased 2-quart casserole. In large bowl beat together milk, eggs, egg yolks, sugar, almond extract, nutmeg, & cinnamon. Pour over bread cubes. Stir in remaining ingredients.
• Bake in preheated 350°F oven until knife inserted near center comes out clean, about 50 to 60 minutes. Serve with whipped cream and a dash of cinnamon, if desired.
• Note: For a puffier pudding, refrigerate several hours or overnight before baking.).

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a small glass baking dish.
• Tear the donuts into bite-size pieces. Combine donut pieces and raisins in the prepared baking dish. In a medium bowl, use an electric mixer to blend together the eggs, evaporated milk, sugar, vanilla extract and almond extract. Mix in the cinnamon and nutmeg. Pour the milk mixture over the donuts in the dish, and press down lightly to help absorption. Let stand for 15 minutes, or cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Place the baking dish inside a larger baking dish, and fill the outer dish with enough water to go about halfway up the sides. A dishcloth may also be placed under the bread dish, to prevent drying.
• Bake for 35 to 40 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 325°F. Butter a 9- by 13- by 2-inch rectangular ovenproof dish.
• Spread the remaining butter on one side of each bread slice. Arrange the bread slices, buttered side up, in one layer on the bottom of the prepared dish. Sprinkle with the raisins and set aside.
• In a large saucepan, combine the milk, heavy cream, and salt. Using the blade of a small, sharp knife, scrape the seeds from the vanilla beans into the mixture; add the scraped vanilla beans. Place the pan over moderate heat and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until pale yellow, about 1 minute. Whisk about 1 cup of the hot milk mixture slowly into the egg mixture to raise the temperature without cooking the eggs. Gradually whisk in the remaining milk mixture, whisking until fully combined. Pour the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl and discard the vanilla beans.
• Pour the custard over the bread. The bread will float to the top-use a spatula to gently press down on the slices, making sure they are completely covered in custard. Place the dish in a large roasting pan or rimmed baking sheet and add enough warm water to the pan to reach about halfway up the sides of the dish.
• Bake the pudding for 30 minutes, then use a spatula to gently press down on the bread slices. Continue baking until the pudding is puffed and set but still jiggles in the center, about 30 more minutes. Transfer the pudding in its water bath to a rack to cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over low heat, warm the apricot jam with 1 tablespoon of water, stirring occasionally until liquefied, about 1 minute.
• Carefully remove the pudding from the water bath, then brush the surface with the warm apricot jam. Dust the top with the confectioners' sugar and serve warm. DO AHEAD: The bread and butter pudding can be prepared ahead, covered, and refrigerated up to two days. Reheat the entire dish in a water bath in a 325°F oven until the center is warm. Individual portions can be reheated in a toaster oven.

Steps:

• Crumble the cake into a 9x13 inch dish.
• Beat the cream cheese and sugar in a medium bowl until light and fluffy. Fold in whipped topping. Mash the cake down with your hands and spread the cream cheese mixture over the cake.
• In a bowl, combine strawberries and glaze until strawberries are evenly coated. Spread over cream cheese layer. Chill until serving.

Steps:

• For the bread pudding: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Butter a loaf pan or 8-inch round cake pan.
• Combine the cream, milk, sugar, vanilla and salt in a medium saucepan and place over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar melts. Remove from the heat.
• Put the butter in a large bowl and slowly pour a third of the hot cream mixture into the bowl, whisking gently to melt the butter. Add the eggs and yolk and whisk until combined. Whisking constantly, slowly pour in the remaining cream mixture.
• Once fully mixed, add the bread and let soak for 10 minutes. (Note: If you're not in a rush or are making this ahead of time you can soak the bread for longer before baking. A longer soak makes the bread more flavorful and very tender.)
• Pour the mixture into the prepared pan. Bake until the top is golden brown and the edges have pulled away from the pan slightly, 25 to 30 minutes.
• For the macerated strawberries: Toss together the strawberries, sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice and pinch of salt in a medium bowl with a wooden spoon. Let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Serve the pudding warm, scooping it right out of the pan, or let it cool and cut it into slices. Serve with the macerated strawberries and ice cream, if using. Enjoy!
