Grease a 9x13 baking dish and spread the cubed bread evenly inside.
In a large bowl, whisk together milk, cream, brown sugar, cornstarch, baking powder, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt until smooth. Slowly pour the mixture over the bread, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated. Bake right away or cover tightly with foil and refrigerate overnight.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. If Assembling the Night Before: When ready to bake, remove the casserole from the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for 20–30 minutes.
Bake the casserole covered with foil for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 25 minutes, or until the center is cooked through and golden brown. Let it cool slightly, then serve with fresh berries, maple syrup, and whipped cream!
