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.

At the risk of sounding very childish...I love birthday cake...plain sponge filled with buttercream and jam topped with fondant!

What about Tiffin?

After all, as Sid James says in Carry On Up The Khyber, "any time is Tiffin time!"

Oh dear, there's soo many to choose from.
I agree about Black Forest Gateaux though, that's a good one.
OOW, lemon drizzle, chocolate, fruit.

I made a chocolate and beatroot cake, love the colour of the batter and tastes earthy in a good way

Dan Cake Marble Half Moon So hard to find it though. That's right, our local shop has stopped selling them

At the moment, Waitrose own brand cherry madeira - so moist and succulent.

Victoria Sandwich, any sort of cream filling, any jam but esp. strawberry. Served with Earl Grey tea in a pretty tea set, in a lovely garden on a pleasantly warm sunny day - Heaven. I sound like Miss Bloody Marple, I know

Carrot cake

Chocolate cake (my homemade NOT shop bought)

Lemon drizzle

Boost fruit cake

Victoria sponge

Coffee & walnut

I still have my mums Be-Ro

Red Velvet

Mmmm not sure cos I love cakes do it depends on my mood!

Currently it’s sticky toffee cake, followed by fruit cake and then Victoria sponge. All with proper butter .

Victoria sponge with raspberry jam and whipped cream or butter cream in the middle. The jam has to be raspberry!

Orange cake- my mum's one is my favourite out of her bakes.

Home made ginger cake- my uncle made the best ones.

Sachertorte. My utter indulgence. I can make it, but still learning to make it well. Having lots of tasty fun practicing!

I also have a recipe for a fresh chocolate cake that has the unofficial title of "the better than sex cake"

Fresh fruit gateaux. With creme au beurre. Sadly quite hard to find since I moved to the UK.

Earl grey sponge with lemon Swiss meringue buttercream

Carrot cake with cream cheese frosting and chopped walnuts

Really rich chocolate cake with morello cherries and whipped cream

A vote for simnel cake. Lush

Oh and good quality birthday cake. I agree formerbabe

I love Victoria sponge but totally disagree with Mary Berry who suggests using Stork Margarine. I tried it once and it was gross - IMO VS should only be made with butter. Oh and for filling, raspberry jam - no cream - yum.

Coffee and walnut

Chocolate cake. @DSHathawayGivesMeFannyGallops can you share yours?
But will also eat carrot cake, sponge cake, fruit cake... the one I don't really like is lemon drizzle.

I will always choose gypsy tart over any cake, but I do love chocolate mousse cake from Patisserie Valarie, ginger cake with lemon buttercream and a deep dish lemon meringue.

@takfujuimoto oooh yes I love the Pat Valerie choc mousse cake too. It’s so rich but I can always demolish a slice in about 10 seconds

Absolute favourite is coffee cake.... but I really like everything that doesn’t involve marzipan.

Chocolate cake. Obvs. Don’t see the point in any type of cake!

Lemon drizzle or coffee cake or Victoria sponge with fresh cream and raspberries or strawberries.
No margarine must be real butter.

Chocolate fudge cake, as moist and rich as possible. The one I make uses buttermilk in the cake and cream cheese in the frosting and it's perfect!
