Can I have your favourite cake suggestions please?

[Alwaystwomagpies]

Am loving lockdown baking!

Have done banana bread (obviously!)
Victoria Sponges
Chocolate courgette
Sticky toffee fudge thing with dates that was actually a bit dry and hard!
Lemon drizzle
Scones plain and cheese
Flapjacks
Krispie cakes and fridge cakes with kids
Shortbread
Macaroons
Marmalade cake
Eclairs
Iced Bread buns

I’m out of ideas! Anyone have a favourite cake they could suggest my family might like please.

Ooh, just thought of a couple more:

Gonna make Bakewell tart next week.

Also fancy making hummingbird cake soon - only had it for the first time a couple of years ago and it’s delicious!

Salted caramel brownies - BBC good food recipe - very yum
Flap jacks - make 4 lots in last 2 weeks, they are gone so quick.
Hairy bikers Bakewell tart/pudding - can't recall which is very good too.

I live Bakewell.

Never heard of hummingbird Cake but now I want it. I'll need some cake tins first.

My all time most popular cake. I don't bother with the icing and it's still delicious

DD1 has given her self a regular weekly baking slot (and sometimes more often). So far we have had
Apple loaf cake
Apple cake with maple cream cheese icing
banana bread
banana and salted caramel loaf cake
Lemon curd loaf cake
Lemon Victoria sponge
Chocolate Malteser cake (has Horlicks in the cake and icing and I much prefer to a full on chocolate cake which i generally find too chocolately, although i do love chocolate!)
traditional Victoria sponge

DD2 is more cookies and traybakes, with flapjacks and chocolate Malteser fridge cake being her specialities.

All I have baked is a pavlova. i had no cornflour, but still turned out well.

My favourite this lockdown has been a Mary Berry crunchy lemon cake. It's a lemony sponge, 7", with lots of lemon juice and granulated sugar on top to make crunchy icing. So good and quick and easy. From The Baking Bible.

@Crickets thank you, thank you - I've had a craving for a Jam doughnut for ages and those muffnuts have definitely helped!

No worries @sorryiasked. They are so easy and very delicious.

@30not13 muffnuts is a great name.

OH's favourite is carrot cake so I'll give that a go. I'm limited to what we have in

@madamejosephine
Made the bbc weird liquid chocolate cake you recommend today. Tasted fine but the texture was awfully rubbery. Is it supposed to be?

@30not13 mines never been rubbery, usually really moist and chocolate fudge cake like. I think I had to leave it in oven a bit longer than it said though

My friend has been making a chocolate cake using black beans and said it is lovely, I am going to try to make one - the black beans are in place of flour - for anyone who cannot get flour.

@Munchkin08 is that the same as making oat flour in the sense they're dry and blitzed to powder?

Red velvet cake - any but need professional standard food colouring
Flourless chocolate and orange cake - nigella
Raspberry and almond cake - me. Basically a double mix for a victory sponge but use golden unrefined caster sugar and substitute a third of the flour for ground almonds. Then stir grated zest of a large orange through the mixture and put the mixture in an 8” square tin. Stud with raspberries dusted in flour to stop them completely falling to the bottom. Halfway through cooking spring flakes almonds on the top When a skewer comes out clean leave to cool. I prefer it without using but it is also nice with a little glacé icing facilities with orange juice drizzled over the top haphazardly

Lemon and blueberry. With a cream cheese frosting. The cakes are sandwiches together with a lemon curd mixed with some of the cream cheese buttercream and some blueberries that have been reduced with a bit of sugar and water and turned into a gloopy mess. It is delicious. The recipe I use for it is Janes Pattesserie

Jesus some hilarious typos there

@Cheeseycheeseycheesecheese - I do not think it goes into a powder you just put it in food processor and it goes into a paste (tin of black beans) - there are several recipes online, chocolate cake & brownies, my friend makes the ww one. It makes a really moist cake.
