5 Easy Slab Cake Recipes For Last-Minute Entertaining

Celebration cakes can range from pound cakes, store-bought, two-tier cream cakes to customised buttercream multi-tier cakes from home bakers. Another option to consider is slab cakes.

Slab cakes (also called sheet cakes) are large, single layer cakes that are designed for feeding and satisfying big groups.

These retro-style cakes are one-tier and rectangular-shaped. That also means you can easily and quickly cut them up. And it would be easy to refrigerate them because they are not as tall as one of those multi-tier cakes.

Instead of ordering a cake big enough to feed a crowd (or cake lovers) from a bakery (which, honestly, can cost an arm or leg), making your own not only saves you money.

It might also give you the pleasure of making these cakes with your kids and the satisfaction of watching everyone enjoying your cake creations.

Perfect for all occasions. Midway between a cake, a tart and a slice, these slab cakes are a foolproof way to sweeten a crowd. The only thing you need is a big-enough oven to fit a 20 cm x 30 cm baking tray.

The following slab cake recipes – whether you like your cakes fruity, chocolatey or nutty – are great for both kids and adults.
