Help! I need easy cheapish traybake recipes for school fete on Friday

[spub]

Would be grateful for any advice. Can cook pretty well but not a natural baker!

School fete is on Friday. I'll have some time on Thursday night but not at any other point.

Am contempating Nigella's malteser traybake and one other. Any ideas/advice? Would be mortified if my efforts went unsold so please pile in!!

I can recommend Marslady's lemon drizzle cake recipe from the recipe section on here It is made in a roasting tin sized container IIRC and is quite simple but vey delicious.

i agree lemon drizzle

i do 3 eggs 150g of butter / sugar / SR flour, out the lemon zest in the mix and make lemon icing with the lemon juice]]divine

Ooh, sounds good. Will take a look.
Thanks. You may be saving me from the cake walk of shame!

Hi, how can I find Marsladys lemon drizzle cake recipe here on the recipe section. Someone else recommended it. It sounds really nice but I will be all night looking for it. Have got to page 6 of 193!! Many thanks.

It's here .

Thank you so much for that GreatGooglyMoogly.
I got up to page 22 and still hadnt found it. I'm tired now, will give it a go tomorrow night. Read lots of interesting things tho!

Would that work in a Lakeland traybake tin - 12 x 9 inch? I think you've just rescued me for school fair on Sat as well

Fridge cake. Is made from biscuits.

I would say yes, cream sugar and butter first then add eggs, then add flour and lemon zest etc

I find lobbing everything in together works just as well as bothering to cream the butter and sugar tbh - its a pretty foolproof yet utterly brilliant recipe!

Makes quite a big cake!

I've just finished mine and it looks fab - I did granulated sugar topping. Hope to goodness it comes out of the tin tomorrow!

You know the lemon drizzle cake - what is meant by a tray?

Sorry

It's like a square/rectangular cake tin but only about 2 inches deep

nigella's Chocolate Gingerbread works well. I think it'si n Feast. I made bog standard buttercream with a teaspoon of ground ginger in it as the icing rather than faff about with her suggestion.

Thank you SoupDragon.

So what sort of size would this thing be?

this sort of thing?

Pretty much although mine is, I think, slightly deeper and squarer.

Like this. I want one of these.

OOOO I want one too!

I think they do one for muffins too... [wistful]
