to dunk my cake in my tea?

[Pascha]

I'm getting the from dh. It's no different from biscuits is it?

Mmmmm nom nom nommmm

Sorry I got totally carried away and forgot to say YANBU. Marble cake is exceedingly good ( said like Mr Kipling) dunked in cappuchino

YANBU, it soaks up the tea much better than a biscuit

Mmm, I need to try this!

Mmmmm yea yea yea

Buttery jammy toast is avoid dunker as well

A good not avoid!!!

Depends on the cake IMO. Jaffa cake - yes. Dunk away.

Sponge cake, no. Cream cake, definitely no.

What about sponge fingers - they're a cake hybrid surely? I reckon they have dunkability.

Hmmm. I wouldn't, but that's not to stop someone else trying!

dunkability is a brilliant word.
you are quite a wordsmith!

morethanpotatoprints surely a macaroon is a biscuit.

zing desperate to see you on DD. bet they can't resist.

OP. feel a bit queasy about it myself. Each to their own.

Now we could get into the debate about whether Jaffa Cakes are a cake or a biscuit ....

Officially cake.

I have bought Madeira cake which I suspect will have a good dunkability index. In the interests of science of course.

Ha, I thought I'd throw that one in for debate.
Don't they go hard and stale so are a cake? I'm not sure though. Then is it soft and soggy for a cake?
I've never dunked a cake, other than a Jaffa cake.

morethanpotato bang on. It's all about condition during staleness
A is soft when fresh relative to its hard stale state and conversely so for a

Not enough ppl care about these real issues.

YABU. It should be coffee, not tea.

YANBU

Sounds disgusting but it's your cake and your tea, do what you like with it.

Oh so common, coffee? Whoever heard of dunking anything in coffee. Oh you have such poor taste. Go and sit on your hands.
It has to be tea and biscuits, not forgetting the raised pinky.

Nope, definitely coffee, and preferably ginger cake. DH despairs

YANBU to dunk it in your tea.

Just bloody stay away from mine.

rummi you are such a self-sacrificing hero!

is your war cry "they can take our lives, but they can't dunk our "?
(or such - it needs work)

Ems I'm wondering if mug net should be disposable or reusable...

also I wonder if it would eventually clash with MN - all it needs is just one idiot saying "mugsnet". hmmm...

back off you heathen!

brioche dunked in coffee or hot chocolate is definitely delicious!

Couldn't dunk cake, would get to messy, having said that I've just had to go and bake a cake after reading the post

Muffins dunked in coffee is the law on Sunday morning!

Or new trick my friend taught me yesterday yes we are both in our thirties! Bite the end of chocolate fingers and suck tea/coffee through it and then put straight in mouth - pure heaven

Surely a slice of Victoria sandwich wouldn't fit in the teacup? A finger of flapjack, maybe.
Or do you have a special wide topped cup for tea dunking? Or drink out of a bowl?
