This is my standby can't-think-what-to-make cake as I always have the ingredients in for it and it's quick and easy to do. Boy's token question as soon as he has finished his dinner is 'Mom, is there any cake?' so it's good for when I can't really be bothered (Yep, sometimes even I get bored of baking!)It can be made in a processor but I don't trust mine anymore so I just pile it all into a bowl and use a hand mixer. It is quite versatile, I have made it as a loaf cake, in a round cake tin and also in muffin cases. My most recent purchase was a silicone cake bar mould, I was hoping to make them Mr Kipling style but I overfilled them a bit. Oops. Still very nice though and one of the cakes I am best at making.

They are so pretty! I've never baked in silicone before. Do you like it?
Yes, I love silicone! Some of it can be quite expensive but I get mine from a discount clearance place. The cake bar one is my 29th baking mould/tin so I have a bit of a collection going, i do have a lot of metal things too. The ones with a shiny finish are better than the matt ones which are hard to clean.
I think I need to make lemon drizzle cakes now, my favourite!

Lemon Drizzle Cake is my favourite. The tiny loaf shapes look lovely. Where did you get the silicone loaf tray from?
Hi Margaret
I got it from TK Maxx, made by a brand called X-Form. I've got 4 different ones of theirs now and they are great.
mmm... made these yesterday and they are so fab!
