Your favourite cake recipes
Ah cakes - one of our favourite subjects! Cake recipes are one of our specialities on goodtoknow Recipes, if you're craving a slice of cake - we'll have a recipe for it. But what type of cake are you looking to make?
A simple sponge cake can be transformed into so many different creations - a classic Victoria sponge, a naughty chocolate fudge cake, a tangy lemon drizzle cake, a hearty carrot cake - the list goes on. Once you've mastered the sponge recipe (check out our guide for how to make a cake) you can really experiment with flavours and textures. Any occasion is made better with a little slice of cake - birthdays, Mother's Day, Christmas.... afternoons! Any time is cake time.
Mini cakes such as cupcakes and fairy cakes are incredibly popular at the moment. Fairy cakes are great cake recipes to make with kids as they are easy, light and fun to decorate. Cupcakes are the ultimate base for any flavour combination or design. Our resident cupcake queen Victoria Threader creates a new cupcake for goodtoknow every week including favourites red velvet cupcakes and fun animal toppers.
For a little extra flavour, try one of our icing recipes. Buttercream, cream cheese frosting, meringue frosting, our icing recipes bring a delicious creaminess to your bakes. Learn how to ice cupcakes and smaller cakes with our step-by-step how to ice cupcake videos.
And last but not least - how about a cheesecake? Technically very different to it's spongy counterparts, a cheesecake is the perfect dessert. We've got a great selection of cheesecake recipes including no-bake ideas and classic American-style baked cheesecakes.
And did you know we've even got lower-fat cakes and gluten-free cakes? There's no excuse not to have one!
