Baking cakes for fund raising please share your best easiest fool proof cake recipes as I

[Dickorydockwhatthe]

am not the best cook. I've promised dh I will bake some cakes for his work place as my hubby is raising money for a childrens charity. He is due to take part in a race event but wants to reach is target so is looking for ways to top up funds. I am a useless cook and I have a feeling dh has also asked his mum to bake who has lots more time and experience then me (that's my excuse) !! I have a feeling our baking skills will be put to a vote by dh just to make it more fun (sick sense if humour) but hey it's for charity I guess!!! Please help me. I am thinking if a Victoria sponge, carrot cake, chocolate cake and maybe biscuits?? What do you think??? Pleased share fool proof recipes ideas pretty please

V easy I managed it for a thing with a tiny newborn buy the nicest chocolate you can afford and it wins - I usually mix cheap milk and posh dark - yum

Awesome chocolate fudge cake which works every time
Lindy's Chocolate Fudge Cake

I also recommend fridge cake, this one is called Tiffin from the place that shall not be named Tiffin - Totally amazing with a mix of cranberries and raisins.

Hmm that fridge cake sounds yummy I may have to do a trial run with a few of these

scones made with cream works every time!

foolproof biscuits

This is a really easy cake recipe, mix wet into dry ingredients and bake, lemon icing also easy ??

You could make them into cup cakes probably if that's easier
Good luck!

For a Victoria sponge -

6oz self raising flour
6oz butter
6oz caster sugar
3 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder

Cream the butter and sugar, whisk in the eggs, add the flour and baking powder. Split the mix between 2 small sandwich tins, and bake for 12-15 mins at 160. Shove some jam and cream in the middle and dust with icing sugar.

Grandmother taught me this recipe 25 yrs ago, know it by heart, never failed.

Fantastic thank you
