Cakes, Cupcakes + Tray Bakes

Do we ever need an excuse for cake? Whether it is a whole cake, cupcakes, loaf cakes or tray bakes, any cake is good cake in my books and always welcome.

Here you can get your fix of all things cake. This selection not only includes the cupcakes and cakes you love, but also options for eggless cakes and vegan friendly bakes too. As with my other posts, each recipe has top tips and troubleshooting sections to help you get the best results from your bakes.
