If you make a cake for your family, how long does it last?

[HennyPennyHorror]

And how many of you are there?

I made a lemon loaf style cake this evening (We're in Oz) and it was all gone in less than an hour.

There's DH and I and DD aged 15 and DD aged 11!

Gone!

I know a loaf style cake isn't enormous but still!

Next time, make two.

Baking? In this heat?!

Oh, just saw that you’re in Oz. Is it not roasting there too though?

A couple of days but there's only dh dd(4) and I

It's winter in Oz.
If it's just the 4 of us a loaf cake would last a couple of days. If my sisters kids (22,21 and 19)visit they could comfortably eat one in a sitting!

Is this some stealth boast?! And goodness me. Baking in this heat!??

I made a banana cake yesterday (I’m in the UK and yes, I’m crazy).

There’s three of us (one dieting) and one slice left

Sounds normal for this house. Not to warm to bake if OP is in Australia.

DH, DD12, DD10 and me.

A normal sized cake would probably last 2 days in this house - I would have one small slice and my DM would probably be round for a (massive) slice, but DH and DD12 would probably have 2-3 slices each.

DD10 is planning on baking for her God Father's birthday later this afternoon - luckily it's something she's done lots of times so will only need help with getting it out of the oven, not sure I could bear to spend longer than it takes to make a salad or a sandwich in the kitchen in this heat!

I made a cake on Saturday and about 1/4 is still there. There's only me DH and two toddlers though.

A loaf tin sized cake would probably serve 8 so 2 slices each. It wouldn’t be unreasonable to eat this over a day, or save half for lunch the next day.

@NCforthis2019 how on earth did you come up with it being a stealth boast?

Day of baking, and gone the following day here.
Me, DH (hardly eats any) plus 2 kids.

Less time than it would take me to write this...

Till I bin it, none of us like cake

Take it as a compliment, your baking is obviously morish.

It depends on when I last baked if not for a while I am lucky to get it off the rack in one piece and it might last the evening but I do only do a 2 egg mix - occasionally a 3 if its a sandwich as I like it a bit deeper

no baking at moment - too hot

It's cold and damp in Oz. I wish I HAD made two now.

I want some tomorrow! I'll have to bake another. It was a lovely recipe!

A day

Usually end up throwing some away and I'm a chef. They'll have a small piece but they aren't cake lovers. DH, 2 teen DC and myself.

No one really eats cake in my house. When my dc’s baked in their teens I often threw mouldy cake away.
I like fruitcake but wouldn’t make it very often, probably last a week or so?

I bake a couple of times a week
Made a blueberry muffin cake yesterday and there is one quarter left

I made chocolate chip banana bread loaf yesterday. (I'm in Ireland, its pissing rain) . There is 4 of us here. It never even made it out of the baking paper.. gone. Last bit in dh's lunchbox. The 15 month old savaged it.

Until I get fed up of eating it because no-one else in my house likes cake

1-2 days, but it's only me and DH!

In my head the goal is to wash and put away the tin before the contents have been eaten.

I do leave things to soak overnight so we are not complete gannets!
