That's not a coffee or carrot cake as I make those quite a lot. Bit bored of chocolate. Fancy making something a bit different on Sunday as I have a whole day to myself child free. Any ideas?

Victoria sponge with a thick layer of buttercream in the middle. Or rocky road. Please let us know what time you’d like us all to come round OP Grin

DP does a lemon drizzle version of yoghurt cake and it’s delicious

Cherry cake is nice? Fruit squares (squashed fly kind) make a change & good in winter.

This is a very easy and very delicious cake I haven’t made for ages. Might make one tomorrow, actually.

This looks delicious, I can also recommend the orange and almond flourless cakes where you cook a whole orange or two and then blitz it and mix into the batter.

Lemon and pistachio loaf cake. So good and easy to make gluten free too if that is required.

I love passion fruit cake and portokalopita an old-fashioned Greek orange cake.

You can never go wrong with baklava either, it’s not difficult to make.

Victoria sponge or mandarin and polenta (made by my SIL)
I don't like ginger, apple, cardamom, cinnamon...

Since you've got some time, make a lemon meringue pie, delicious but so time consuming!

Victoria Sandwich. Apple Crumble cake. Lemon Polenta cake.

Dear lord this sounds amazing.

I can't bake for shit - can someone makes this for me and pop it round?

I love a parkin. Made with black treacle, ginger and oats. Tastes proper rich, deep and warm as well as rib-stickingly comforting. Triple yum.

I make something like this and it is one of my favorite cakes, beaten only by a very good Victoria sponge.
