Some days are easy cake days, not the days when you want to spend hours measuring, beating, mixing and decorating. These are the days you need traybake recipes.
Perfect for when you're short on time and want minimal washing up, these cakes can be sliced up and served direct from the baking tin for a more authentic home cooked feel.
Take your pick from classic brownies and a gluten free option or add some zing with citrusy flavours or a touch of the Caribbean with coconut slices in our best traybake recipes below.
If you've catering for an event or large numbers try your hand at a few traybakes as they look spectacular with a selection served side by side, leaving your guests to pick and choose.
Enjoy!
Walnut Brownies
Always a favourite, try adding in walnuts to add some extra interest to these gooey chocolatey brownies.
Gluten Free Chocolate Brownies
Going gluten free doesn't mean you have to miss out on the delights of brownies either.
Coconut Squares
Made with rice flour for when you something lighter with the exotic notes of coconut. This one needs just half an hour in the oven.
LINZER KUCHEN, TART WITH NUT AND JAM
This traditional layered Austrian tart with nuts and jam takes a little longer, but the results are well worth it.
Lemon Bars
Love zingy lemon cakes? Then try this bake filled with a citrussy lemon centre.
Nougat Cake with Raisins
A traybake with a difference - this one uses a sweet dough as the base topped off with a rich chocolatey topping - delicious.
