Don’t miss this delicious collection of loaf cake recipes! Quick and easy to make, loaf cakes keep well and are suitable for any occasion. I love to keep a a loaf cake on hand ready for last minute guests and snack emergencies! And to be honest, a slice of loaf cake is as welcome at breakfast as it is for dessert.

Most loaf cake recipes require very little in the way of decoration and if you do expend a little effort to drizzle a little something over the top, the results are often disproportionately rewarding.

Loaf Cake Recipes Freeze Well

Most loaf cake recipes freeze really well too. Unless you plan to use the cake all in one go, I recommend, slicing the cake before freezing. Separate the slices with small pieces of greaseproof or parchment paper and wrap the cake well. That way you can thaw a slice for two of cake at a time, whenever you fancy it.

  1. Yummy!!
    I also love loaf cake, and I see here some that I need to check – like the applesauce with dates 🙂

    1. Thank you, Winnie 🙂 The applesauce loaf is really wonderful – especially when made with homemade applesauce.

  2. I’m going to confess that most often I eat these types of loaves for breakfast rather than dessert. Of course, I don’t turn them down when it’s dessert time either.
