I don't make nearly as many cakes as I did when I lived in Cambridge and went to poohsoc regularly.
excelsoira taught me how to cook (mainly) while I was in the third year including cakes.
Sometimes I follow a recipe as is or take several recipes pick the bits I like about them a make something combining these.
Sometimes I have an ingredient and I think I'll make a cake out of it, so search for a cake to make. Such as when there were several bottles of open red wine left after poohsoc anniversary dinner and I decided I should bake a cake out of them. Result being Red Wine Cake
Sponges are generally good as you can put almost anything in them as flavour. Not sure if you were there when we made the Banana Curry Cake for poohsoc (Banana and Garum Masala flavoured sponge cake)...
