traybake

Oven pan treat

A traybake is a cake or baked dish made in a shallow rectangular pan, cut into portions after baking rather than shaped individually beforehand.

The term is primarily British, covering everything from brownies to flapjacks to savory one-pan dinners: I made a simple lemon traybake for the office.

Americans would typically call the sweet version a sheet cake or bar cookie.
