Does anyone know of any delicious cake/bread recipes?

I am wanting to enter a cake or bread in the county fair, but i dont have any really good recipes.





I have a friend who made a cake the other day that didn't have any frosting and was made with no salt. it was vanilla and chocolate. I think she said it was a German recipe.





So, if you have any good recipes that are similar, please let me know.Does anyone know of any delicious cake/bread recipes?
