Recipe for cake that wont' jiggle around-to travel without sliding.?

I am trying to find a recipe or way to make a cake that I can smuggle in my suitcase on a trip to a friend's surprise party. I'd like to bake a cake to then put in a large tupperware-type container that I can travel with where I won't worry about the cake sliding around or toppling over. Anybody have any ideas?Recipe for cake that wont' jiggle around-to travel without sliding.?
I would suggest a covered 13 x 9 pan, so a single layer cake. If you try to do a layer cake, I don't know of any filling you could put between the layers that wouldn't shift if not held upright. (Your large tupperware container implies a layer cake.) The sheet cake can be decorated after it's frosted if you want.

This is the best banana cake ever :)


I bought it to work and have never got so many compliments on such a simple cake recipe. I didnt even need the icing it was so delicious.


make sure the bananas are very very overripe though (almost black)
