Homemade Cake Recipes

Plain Cakes , they contain little fat, and it is “rubbed in” or melted before being added, as in rock cakes and gingerbreads.

Rich Cakes they contain more fat, and it is usually creamed with the sugar before the dry ingredients are added. They usually contain more sugar, eggs and fruit or flavouring per pound of flour examples are Queen cakes, layer cakes and Dundee cake.

Sponge CakesThese are leavened with eggs, and contain little or no fat.

Cakes made with egg whites, pastry etc examples are meringues, brandy-snaps and tartlets.

Baking Tins and Sheets these can be round or square. If you want to use a square tin instead of a round one for a particular recipe, the size of the tin matters. A 7-in square tin holds the same amount as an 8-in diameter round tin of the same depth.
