A homemade birthday cake is treat that will be remembered for the love and effort you put in. This easy birthday cake recipe requires less effort than most, but still looks fun and impressive.

This is a really easy birthday cake for kids of all ages. Dan Lepard shows you how to make it in a step-by-step video. For the cake, line the base of a deep 20cm/9in cake tin with non-stick paper ...

It’s also a recipe that conjures up the flavors of my childhood. But you don’t need to have a March birthday to enjoy this cake ... Each element is pretty easy to bake. Seriously.

Bake for 25 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clean ... Adjust as needed to fit the recipe.
