Weekend Baking Challenge: Loaf Cakes
Chocolate and ginger loaf cake.
A loaf cake is the best recipe for beginner bakers to have up their sleeve. You don't need to worry about being too gentle when stirring up these cakes; they need to be sliceable with a crumb that can withstand being handled.
Loaf cakes are the workhorse of the cake world. They may not look fancy and they may not be festooned with all kinds of icing (although, feel free!), but they are almost always utterly delicious.
