My soon to be eight year old son has asked me to make him a chocolate cake for his birthday party Who knows why!). He also want it to be iced  with white sugar icing and decorated. So I need a good recipe for chocolate cake. Do you think it would be best to use ready-to-roll icing or royal icing? Also, do you think I will still need to put a thin layer of almond paste/marzipan between cake and icing? Thank you in anticipation of all your help.

My mom’s breadmaker is suitable for cakes but I don’t have many recipes for it. Can somebody help me with some easy recipes for a breadmaking machine – preferably a rich fruit cake recipe.

Does anyone have a very quick and easy (seriously lacking in most utensils or cooking ability) chocolate cake recipe that doesn’t use any eggs? Many thanks in advance:)

Recipe for a quick and easy fruit cake please?

I want to make a sponge cake without eggs, for someone’s birthday. I’m not vegan so I can use milk and butter – but no eggs, or animal fats.

I’d love to find some good recipes that I could use.
