Many people have turned to baking to keep busy and raise their spirits during the lockdown. It’s a fun way to keep the children entertained, even if they sneakily help themselves to the chocolate chips when you’re not looking, and is very rewarding when the whole family gets to dig-in to a tasty cake fresh out of the oven. With this in mind, Betty Crocker would love for you to share a picture of the cakes and bakes that you have made with your family.

Here’s what Betty Crocker has to say: “Betty Crocker is a cultural icon and is part of families’ traditions and get together. She has been a trusted source of flavoursome recipes and homebaking know-how for 100 years. With a delicious cake guaranteed every time, Betty enables families to focus on what really matters, spending quality time together baking or enjoying a sweet treat.”

Whether you prefer to keep it simple and use a Betty Crocker cake mix, follow an old family recipe passed down through the generations or make it up as you go along, take a picture of the cake or bake that you have made with your family and post it on this thread.

This competition is open to all Mumsnetters so get that apron on and your oven pre-heating. We’ll be randomly selecting one lucky MNer who posts a picture of their beautiful bake on this thread to win a £200 Amazon voucher - perfect for stocking up on all your baking essentials!

Thanks and good luck!

My daughter had to celebrate her 18th in lockdown. Together we made this chocolate cake. I then decorated it using Betty Crocker chocolate fudge icing, maltesers and added edible gold leaf!

Betty Crocker Vanilla Sponge with Velvety vanilla icing.

2yr old DD helped me crack the eggs, pour the water and the oil Smile

There are a few bit of egg shell in there but apart from that it's moorish!

We held a lockdown family bake off. I should have won, but they all voted tactically!

My 11 year old daughter has made two fantastic’Betty Crocker’ (Devil’s Food Cake Mix) cakes during lockdown. One was for my lockdown birthday 🎂 and the other was to cheer the whole family up after a particularly tough week. She’s an absolute marvel- and Betty Crocker makes things easier for her ... and a lot less mess for me to clear up afterwards!! Grin Cake

My 8 year old had to make a treat with a ‘healthy twist’ for a school twitter ‘lockdown challenge’ so she made this carrot and courgette cake, made with 2 types of veg, half wholewheat flour and lots of healthy nuts!

I've not been well so my dh and dc have been baking. This was my dh's first attempt at a German cake called Schneewittchen Kuchen (snow white cake). Named due to the red white and 'black' colour scheme depicting Snow White's lips, skin and hair.

It was lovely. 😋
