Simple and basic cake ideas with store cupboard ingredients

[SortCode]

Not a great baker skill level is prob 6 out of 10.

So last week made lemon drizzle tray bake as had 2 lemons to use up and lasted most of the week.

So what can I make this week?

I have left Flour, eggs, butter, caster sugar, bar milk chocolate, icing sugar, walnuts, sultanas double cream

I like tray bake throw it all in like the lemon cake

Any bananas? If you’ve got walnuts and sultanas you could knock up a lovely banana bread in a loaf tin.

Ooo sounds lovely but damn no bananas!!!

I have baking powder and vanilla extract as well.

I want banaba bread now >>>>puts on list for next week

Roughly blitz up the walnuts and dissolve a couple of teaspoons of instant coffee in a little hot water and make coffee & walnut cake.

Or do you have any cocoa powder in the back of your cupboard to make a chocolate cake?

Jam to make it Victoria sponge?

Rock buns, you could use the sultanas and some chopped walnuts.

Victoria sponge with a buttercream filling, sieve some icing sugar over to decorate it.

No jam or coco

Melt the milk chocolate, and cool.
Make a vanilla sponge, mix the cooled chocolate in and bake for a chocolate sponge. With extra melted chocolate on top if you have lots?
About 100g chocolate in a 3 egg sponge.

Coffee and walnut cake. Use instant coffee dissolved in hot water to flavour. It’s my favourite.

Do you have any warm spices? Could make a walnut and sultana cake with warm spices (mix of any of cinnamon, ginger, mace, nutmeg, all spice etc) and serve with lightly spiced and sweetened whipped cream?

UPDATE
Neighbour has given me 3 bananas so bread it is!!!

Next week will do coffee and walnut.

Thanks Mumsnetters!!!!
