In a matter of minutes, quick cake recipes on the alittlelunch.com website will help you make a sweet treat. You can buy sponge or wafer layers in advance, or use whatever is on hand — gingerbread, marshmallows, cookies, crackers, corn sticks. You can also make a quick sponge in the microwave yourself. The variety of fillings is impressive: condensed milk, jam, whipped cream, custards. With bananas, strawberries, chocolate, dates, nuts and much more. All that's left is to pick the right option!
If the recipe uses frozen berries, thaw them well and let them drain before adding to the cake. Otherwise excess moisture will soak into the layers and can turn them to mush. To keep fresh bananas from browning, it's recommended to sprinkle them with lemon juice, and to rinse dry dates and nuts well and dry them.
