    Can't remember but I would say it was a sponge cake, first cake I was properly proud of and would admit to making was a chocolate orange cake just a couple of years ago.
    Edited to add just remembered think the first proper cake was a Xmas cake, spent a fortune on ingredients (was about 13/14 yrs old) made a massive fruit cake, made the marzipan for it and icing and it ended up rock hard and horrible so ate the icing off it and the wild birds ended up very happy with the whole cake to themselves, took them ages to get through it.

    I was brought to a demonstration held by the ICA by an Odlums rep in the local hall when I was about 11. The following weekend I made the Chocolate and Mandarin Layer Cake she made for it. I wish to God I could find the old books I had from the demo but they dissapeared years ago.

    The first cake I made was a mederia sponge at school, it was delish! I tried to recreate it at home but my mum only had cookeen (!) it was pure gick. No cream either so just jam. That and the cake stuck to the sandwich tins so there were more chunks missing than the sieved icing sugar could cover! :D

    I made the Christmas Cake that year too, spent all my money from my part time job on dried fruit and nuts. It was grand but pretty much a standard one (I'm far more adventurous these days)
