A traybake is a type of baked treat made in a rectangular or square baking tray, then cut into individual portions once cooled. It’s popular for its simplicity, versatility, and ability to serve a crowd—perfect for parties, bake sales, or afternoon tea.

Traybakes can be sweet or savoury, but in the context of cakes and baking, they’re usually sweet and include varieties like:

• Chocolate brownies
• Lemon drizzle slices
• Millionaire’s shortbread
• Flapjacks
• Rocky road
• Caramel slices
