We all have our go-to recipe. You know, the one you make over and over again — with a little tweak here and there to make it feel just a little bit different than the version before it. Well, we have another recipe you'll want to add to your list of must-makes: Basic Sheet Pan Cake (pictured above).

This cake is a pretty magical recipe. It's a simple base that can be transformed into four different dishes depending on which technique you follow. Here's what you can make from this four-in-one cake recipe.

Sheet Pan Jelly Roll

If you've ever tried your hand at this beautiful, but often complicated, cake recipe, you know it's not as simple as just rolling up some frosting in a basic cake. This version flips that philosophy on its head. A sheet pan version of a jelly roll cake takes a basic sheet pan sponge cake, rolls it while it's warm enough to hold the rolled shape and fills it with strawberry jam for a simple, yet beautiful, baked treat.

Sheet Pan Petit Four

Instead of making each mini cake individually, this recipe calls for the sheet pan sponge cake to be cut up and layered with a ganache. You'll form adorable bite-sized cakes that are ideal for any spring party. We could see these working well for a baby shower or Easter brunch.

Sheet Pan Trifle

Turn a sheet pan sponge cake into a layered dessert with minimal effort. We love being able to see so many distinct layers of varying colors. This trifle makes a pretty centerpiece to any dessert table.

Sheet Pan Ice Cream Cake

Ready for warmer weather? Us too! Until summer comes our way, we'll be perfecting our ice cream cake skills with this simple version of a summertime classic. This version takes on a Neopolitan flavor with vanilla, chocolate and strawberry ice cream topped with a drippy chocolate shell.
