Usually I do Welsh cakes, occasionally brownies. My dad's is always a fruitcake.

I'm getting it a lot at the minute where I wake up and think 'I fancy having a little potch in the kitchen this morning'.

I don't usually eat my own cakes, more so presently as I'm about a stone and a half into an intended 2 stone weightloss. I just really like baking but would love some inspiration.

I've also been reading the protestant tray bakes thread but as I'm C of E I'm a bit worried about getting smited ( I jest!)

What is your go to quick bake?

Oh, plum cake of course - hence the nameGrin

Most of the time I'm baking with DD, so I tend to stick with easy, one bowl recipes that don't involve too many steps. My favourites are:

Yogurt Cake, sometimes with fruit/cocoa powder
Chocolate loaf cake
Banana bread

I think I'm going to do a caramel shortbread tomorrow, or maybe loaded brownies. Or a lemon drizzle which is boring but I love.

Have also had a request for fudge so thinking of doing either a rocky road fudge or a white chocolate and cranberry one.

Thanks everyone, these are brilliant!
