All this talk about Pies, made me think about Cake.

Weirdly enough, I like cake better than frosting, but cake still has
to have frosting. I'm also a minimalist when it comes to cakes.
Fillings to me are not neccessary, just use frosting that was used on
top.

I really like a good white cake with a very rich chocolate frosting.
or a very rich moist chocolate cake with cream cheese frosting.

These are pretty much neck in neck for first.

Second would be a traditional spice cake with cream cheese frosting.

Give me a homemade carrot cake any old day, with real cream cheese frosting!

Haven't had cake in a long time, but my favorite is German's chocolate
cake, with the pecan/coconut icing. Perhaps on my next birthday.

True madeira or pound cake. Can be topped with anything.
A great hazelnut/whipped cream cake from a neighbourhood German bakery
when I was a kid. That was always the birthday cake for me!
German 'fruit salad cake': a genoise baked in a special form, topped
with fresh fruit and glazed. We just had one with strawberries. But
works well with tinned fruit too.

I think carrot cake might be my favorite as well. I do, sort of, think of a
carrot cake as more of a quick bread shaped like a cake as opposed to a
cake. I also really like a nice rich chocolate cake with white (vanilla)
frosting.

German Chocolate Cake
Carrot Cake

Layered cake with one layer of lemon, one layer of orange and one layer
of banana with raspberry jam + rum spread between the layers and cream
cheese frosting. I've made this a few times, and it has been a big
success each time. I use the cake recipes in The Silver Palate
Cookbook, but you have to use lots of citrus peel.

That's funny, I always thought that too about carrot cake! Sort of in the
same vein as a pumpkin bread, both being spiced,sweet quick breads.

I like a bit of cake but without frosting. It is too sweet for my tastes.
Actually I usually make muffins out of a cake recipe, no frosting and freeze
them for an "emergency." I also don't like cake mixes from a box...homemade
only for me.

I HATE those sheet cakes they get for office functions.

Anemic white cake,

Cakes definitely take a back seat to pies on my list of favorite desserts,
but I do have a few favorites.

Schwarzwalder Kirschtorte (the real thing, not the commercial crap)
Amalgamation Cake (my grandmother's recipe)
Fresh Orange Cake (my grandmother's recipe)
Fresh Lime Cake (my recipe)
Lady Baltimore Cake
Lord Baltimore Cake
My Fruitcake (but that's really another category)
