I need cake recipes, please!

[Aunt Paula]

I promised to make a cake every week for the church bingo games. I have made several different kinds now, but I feel I am in a rut now. It doesn't have to be cake it can be a dessert etc. I prefer not to make something that needs to be refrigerated since they get the desserts ready the night before. Plus I don't think they would have room in the fridge. They sell the piece of cakes/desserts for $1 each and the ladies that go to bingo love them, I was told they will buy extras to take home with them. So if any of you have a easy cake or dessert recipe I can whip up, and would share I would so appreciate it! Thanks. Paula

Cranberry Pake (Pie+Cake)

Crust: Prepare your favorite pie crust to fit a 9-inch pie pan. Place in pan, flute edges, and leave unbaked.

Cranberry Layer:
2 cups fresh whole cranberries, rinsed and drained **
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup chopped pecans
Mix all ingredients and place in unbaked crust.

Cake Layer:
3/4 cup softened butter
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 cup flour
Cream together butter and sugar. Add eggs and beat well. Add flour and mix thoroughly. Dollop the mixture by spoonfuls over the cranberry layer and smooth the top with a spatula.

Place the pake on a baking sheet to catch drips while baking. Bake for 1 hour at 350 degrees or until the top is golden brown. Serve warm or at room temperature with ice cream.

**My friend uses the whole package of cranberries, I use about 3 cups.

I know that this may seem silly, but have you thought about cupcakes instead of regular cake? That way they can sell the individual cupcakes and things as well? There are lots of great ideas on here (I am sort of a cupcake-aholic) -- you could change up the frostings, add fillings, decorations, whatever you wanted..

Hi, you already got lots of great recipes - I hope there is room for a few more

I think you'll surprise the girls at bingo with this unexpected yet delicious combination: Tahini, almond and chocolate cake

Any recipe by David Lebovitz is a sure bet, but this cake is to die for: Chocolate-Prune Cake

And last but not least, banana bread made better: Peanut butter banana bread - It's from the great blog "Delicious days".

Good luck on bingo night
