For cakes, you mean? Or pancakes? I'm talking about cookie dough 🙂
Yes all of those, and (American style) biscuits.
Yes, biscuits and pancakes should definitely be lumpy batters! Less common in cakes. I do a lot of batter baking and my mistake was using similar techniques in cookie baking, but cookie doughs are quite different; they don't have liquid, and the temperature/state of the butter is much more important
