Round layer cakes and bundt cakes look pretty, but a traybake cake, sliced into neat squares can be easier to serve when catering for a special occasion.

That's why we've turned some of our favourite classic cake, recipes from carrot cake to lemon drizzle cake, into traybakes.

Our go to traybake cake has to be the nostalgic school dinner cake - which is an easy vanilla sponge baked in a 20.5cm x 30.5cm baking tin and topped with an oh so easy glace icing and then sprinkled with hundreds and thousands.
