PANTRY CRUMB CAKE
More of a snack or breakfast than a showy dessert, a homey crumb cake doesn't need the oohs-and-aahs of any guests. It's the kind of thing a small family can devour in a few days, and a single person can freeze in slices, at the ready whenever the urge for brown sugar and butter hits. (Just wrap each slice up separately and store them in a container in the freezer; a slice will thaw in under an hour on the counter.) This cake is also extremely adaptable: Use whatever spices you like. If you don't have oats, use more flour or chopped nuts. And feel free to use whatever fruit, fresh, frozen and thawed, or canned, you have on hand.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter an 8- or 9-inch square pan.
- Preparing the topping: Add all the topping ingredients to a medium bowl. Use a rubber spatula until they all start to clump together. Squish or roll the mixture into mostly large crumbs with some smaller ones.
- Prepare the cake: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt until combined.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar at medium speed until creamy and smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then beat in vanilla extract. Add half of the flour mixture, then beat in the sour cream. Add the remaining flour, and mix, just until incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl. Fold in the zest and fruit, if using.
- Pour the batter into the baking pan and top evenly with the crumbs. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan. It'll be gone before you know it.
NIGELLA LAWSON PANTRY-SHELF CHOCOLATE-ORANGE CAKE
If you'll read my personal page you'll know exactly where this recipe is coming from. This is a simple, unadorned cake with a dense texture (almost brownie-like). The orange twist is a nice surprise. One day I found myself spreading soft cream cheese over a slice and it was quite delicious! Enjoy with coffee or whatever is your poison.

Steps:
- Oven@ 350.
- Melt the butter in a saucepan and then add the chocolate and stir until melted.
- Take off of the heat.
- Add the marmalade, sugar, and the eggs and combine.
- Gradually beat in the flour.
- Pour into a greased 8-inch springform pan.
- Bake for about 50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Pantry cake relies on simple ingredients, so make sure they're fresh and of good quality. Fresh eggs, butter, and milk will give your cake the best flavor and texture.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can develop the gluten in the flour, making the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake at the right temperature: The oven temperature is critical for a successful pantry cake. Bake the cake at the temperature specified in the recipe. If the oven is too hot, the cake will brown too quickly and may be undercooked in the center. If the oven is too cool, the cake will take longer to bake and may be dry.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This will help prevent the frosting from melting and sliding off the cake.
- Be creative with your frosting: Pantry cake is a great base for a variety of frostings. Try a simple buttercream frosting, or get creative with flavors like chocolate, peanut butter, or cream cheese.
- Decorate the cake to your liking: Pantry cake is a blank canvas for decoration. Get creative with sprinkles, candies, or fresh fruit. You can also pipe frosting designs onto the cake for a more elegant look.
Conclusion:
Pantry cake is a simple, yet delicious cake that is perfect for any occasion. With a few basic ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious cake that your family and friends will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dessert, give pantry cake a try. You won't be disappointed.
