I made a couple of the Victorian Nursery cakes - I love that recipe, it always turns out nice. And today if I feel energetic I'll do a Lemon Drizzle.
If!

I'll dig it out and post it here. I found it on a blog somewhere and just liked the name, and now it's the only cake I ever make. You sprinkle demerara sugar on top before putting in the oven and it makes a lovely crunchy sweet topping.
