What is your favourite cake?

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

So hard to find it though.

WildIrishRose1 All the more cream cheese based cakes for me. I'm fine with that

I’ve got a really sweet tooth but cake doesn’t particularly do it for me. I will of course take it if offered though I do love fruit cake though - light or dark. Homemade Christmas cake is the best.

I think cake is my favourite food .

Too bad I’m low carbing just now .

Coffee cake
Chocolate Orange cake
Lemon

Christmas cake!

scaryteacher - Yeah, I've had some that I've been underwhelmed by, some very delicious. The ultimate one I love was a recipe my GM made, but it was quite modified, so not authentic. But it was dense, moist, extremely chocolatey (with proper dark dark chocolate) and apricotey and gorgeous.

Banana with toffee drizzle or chocolate chips

Battenburg. It's not popular or sexy but I just love it.

I love cake, all the cake. A life without cake just wouldn’t be worth living imo

Favourites include;

Victoria sponge ( I use lemon curd and whipped double cream for the filling)

Carrot cake with a cream cream frosting

White chocolate and mascarpone cake

Lemon drizzle

Chocolate sponge with chocolate buttercream filling, then a chocolate ganache top

Really moist Carrot cake with lots of frosting

Oh, this takes me back to childhood...

Lemon drizzle is still my favourite though. My great-grandmother always used to make one when we visited, she was in her nineties but there was always a fresh lemon drizzle cake. At Easter, she used to put little model chicks on top, and sprinkle on a little brown sugar to make it look like they were pecking at it.

Victoria sponge
Chocolate Roulade
Coffee and Walnut
Brownies with a cream cheese topping

It varies with the seasons but I'm currently favouring an old Delia recipe which is essentially a spiced honey lemon drizzle.

Winter favourite was sticky ginger cake.

Lemon drizzle but only if it has a bit of lemony filling.

Another lemon drizzle here.

A gateaux??

Mine is probably coffee cake.

A sticky home-made ginger cake - after about 3 or 4 days when it is at its unctuous best

Another vote for Victoria sponge with fresh cream and jam filling.

Fresh cream cakes in general are delicious.

At Christmas, Caribbean rum cake.

How about both cakes thoroughly drizzled with lemon drizzle, then sandwiched with lemon curd?

*My own coffee cake (no walnuts)
*My own lemon cake with vanilla buttercream and lemon glacè icing
*A plain slab of Madeira (m&s do a lovely one)
*Butter vanilla and chocolate marble cake with thick white icing (Lidl used to sell it but don’t any more sadly as it was amazing!!)

Battenburg. My god that stuff is heaven.

My late Grandma’s parkin. Eaten on bonfire night in front of the bonfire.
