What is your favourite cake?

[Frosty66612]

what is your all time favourite cake? Mine is a Victoria sponge (always with whipped cream, never buttercream) or a Black Forest Gateaux.

Welsh cake.

Coffee cake
Lemon and mascarpone,
Carrot cake
Sponge with jam and buttercream
Apple and cinnamon
That Easter one with marzipan,
I also love just a plain Madeira sponge.

The only ones I don't like are ones with fruit and chocolate or really heavy fruit cakes.

Sticky ginger cake. Preferably Rose Princes' recipe.
A really rich moist chocolate cake, served with pouring cream. No icing.
Apple upside down cake - apples at the bottom of the tin, with golden syrup and butter, topped by sponge
Home made lemon drizzle
Chocolate guinness cake with cream cheese frosting

Victoria sponge, but I actually prefer with buttercream I also love fondant fancies.

Carrot cake. Hands down.

I surprised myself by knowing that automatically!

A good Victoria sponge made with butter of course and filled with a good quality raspberry jam ( sieved to remove seeds) and, for a change, the addition of a bit of buttercream.
Otherwise, a great fruit cake (where the fruit has been soaked in brandy) in the wintertime is a comfort food of the Gods.

Also partial to a Victoria Sponge though.

I don't really like cake, but can manage lemon drizzle if you're insisting.

Otherwise cheesecake (the English nonbaked variety) or Jaffa cakes!

Coffee and walnut.
Lemon drizzle.
Paul Hollywood’s chocolate brownies with cranberries and walnuts.

Sachertorte, if it counts as a cake?

Cakes often look so great but taste of disappointment. Too dense, too dry, kinda tasteless... I'd still eat them all, though.

Banana bread. There's not much I'm good at making but banana bread is one thing I can bake SO well. I ate the whole thing in 2 days last time...

Cream cheese frosting red velvet preferably from hummingbird

I have to say though - it's been on sale forever in MnS but ive never seen the appeal of Colin caterpillar 🐛

Battenbergs and eclairs are nice too but not a patch on Vicky sponge and tipsy.

Carrot cake
Chocolate fudge
Victoria sponge with fresh cream and strawberries

Chocolate Guinness cake with a

Mine is either a black forest gateau, strawberry gateau or a chocolate eclair.

I love red velvet cake with a good cream cheese frosting. Usually make it myself as I'm so picky about it

Also, basically any cheesecake. So long as it's unbaked!

Any cake, except those with cream cheese frosting - an utterly vile concoction

Thanks, OP, I now have this overwhelming urge to make a Victoria sponge (with both jam and cream)!

Also despise cheesecake. There. I've said it.

Jasey I can see our potential friendship would not be problem-free

Coconut and lemon cake which i make.

Bakewell tart.
I hate Black forest gateau!

My Nutella or malteasers cheesecake

Carrot with a smooth cream cheese buttercream
Banana and pecan

Strangely without cake surrounding it I hate bananas!

Prozac Sachertorte is really dry though; I was deeply underwhelmed by it.
