Michelle Darmody: Loaf cakes that are easy for slicing

The cakes included here are all baked in 2lb loaf tins, which makes them easy for slicing and transporting, perfect when you want to bring a portable snack into work as a treat.
Loaf tins are most often used for bread but work very well for making a more casual cake. I tend to line the tin with parchment for ease of removal.
