A well made Victoria sponge with buttercream and raspberry jam is pretty hard to beat...

I love Hummingbird cake. It's similar to carrot cake.

The best cake I have ever tasted was mango and coconut. I had a slice of it and a cup of jasmine tea watching the funny crested birds in the Chinese Peace Garden in Sydney.

I like cake with flavour. No point in having any otherwise.
A proper chocolate cake made with proper chocolate, frangipane, carrot cake (yumm), brownies (does that count ?)..............

Walnut, Chocolate, Carrot, Banana, Ginger, Jamaican Rum Cake any of those, cake needs to be heavy,dense and packing flavour, none of those 20p supermarket airy specimens for me.

Honeslty I couldn't pick, I just LOVE cake.

I guess maybe chocolate fudge?
But that does a huge disserive to lemon drizzle and carrot cake. I also love fruit cake wih marzipan and icing. And yumyums. And Millionaire's Shortbread. And Brownies. And chocolate orange cake. And even a good old Victoria spounge and rhubarb and custard swiss rolls. And lemon meirngue cake. And cherry bakewells. And scones.

I just adore all cake really. Can't think of one I don't like.

Actually I think my most favourite cake of all is a real good birthday cake with buttercream. MMMMM

Someone left my cake out in the rain

I don't think that I can take it, it took so long to make it

and I'll never have that recipe again




I do like a bit of dark fruit cake with a chunk of mature cheddar though.

Hope this works - never done this before!!

Worked in the factory of a well known cake manufacturer(night shift) many years ago. One night the cleaners did not turn up and as a lowly student I was put on cleaning the Battenburg line.

I have never eaten it again

Not a big cake fan but I do love a nice piece of moist carrot and orange cake with lashings of thick creamy topping (is it cream cheese?)

Kouign Amann (Breton butter cake).

Love it. Tastes amazing. If you're on a diet, forget it. It's extremely rich and I find it best covered in double cream. Just as well I only eat it about once a year, otherwise I'd have had a heart attack a while back.

Well done it worked..

And welcome..

I can imagine the smell would have been overpowering, I had a summer job when I was a kid picking tomatoes, I will never never eat one again, and strangely enough I am now allergic to them (which helps with not eating them!)
