The basic recipe for quick bread which can be muffins pancakes, cakes or many other variations are the same basic recipe. Bread takes more time to prepare because you have to rise the dough and knead it rise it again an d form it into whatever shape you want . Cake is pretty much on recipe the recipe for quick bread so that pancakes, muffins and biscuits pretty much are variations off the same recipe that you use for cakes. There are some fancier cakes that require quite a lot of work. The basic difference between bread and cakes is that you rise the dough with yeast for bread and with baking baking powder and baking soda for quick breads and cakes.Soured milk or buttermilk can also help rise the dough. The basic recipe is all purpose flour about a half teaspoon of baking soda,, a half teaspoon of baking powder,a little salt and sugar for the dry ingredients and an egg and milk or soured milk or buttermilk or even water for the wet ingredients with a beaten egg. That will do for pancakes and biscuits and muffins but for a cake you add more sugar and sometimes more eggs and you cut in butter or other shortening. You can other shortening. You can also add shortening to pan cakes but if you put it in the pan you don't need it in the mix. Fancier cakes can use lots of eggs, egg whites or egg yolks. you can also make carrot cakes, and zucchini bread with the same recipe. You can add icing to cakes. One easy is softened butter mixed with powdered sugar and vanilla extract. That is a butter cream icing and it tastes beast if you use unsalted butter. You can make cooked icing with cocoa and milk cooked with sugar and thickened with cornstarch. Of course if you want a real easy cake you can use a mix but it will never be as good as from scratch.

3 cups flour (ideally whole wheat but anything will do) 3/4 cup butter. 1 cup milk/water.
Cut the butter into the flour with the back of a fork. Stir in the liquid slowly. Knead and roll into whatever shape your heart desires.
If you don't have butter you are making hard tack, the butter obviously being the softener. You simply soak it in the gravy of your orphan gruel.
