Victoria sponge, old school but works for me.
My carrot cake 🙂
Free cake. Yes, I would get into a strangers car for free cake.

ALL of your CAKE, not just some of it, but ALL of it!
Orange Drizzle Cake.
Coffee and walnut or, if it counts, tea loaf.
Pretty much all cake ever invented and all cake not yet invented.
Which is why I've started a diet today after a bollocking last week from the GP.
Wait, I've changed my mind. [url= http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2008/aug/09/blueberry.cupcakes.dan.lepard ]Blueberry and creme fraiche fairy cakes[/url].

or perhaps bananana malt loaf (but I count that as bike food. cake is what you get at the cake stop, which is a prime reason for riding a bike)
Marzipan Nusstorte in Niederegger Cafe Lubeck

Surely no man can have just one favouite cake? That'd be like having just one favourite pie, only sweet.

Once you have a stated favourite you are then mrally obliged to try every other cake in order to ensure accuracy. It's like a delicious cream filled albatross around your neck.
My mother's Christmas cakes are always pretty special. Fruit filled and moistened with Brandy, topped with homemade marzipan and icing.
As a kid when cookery books first had colour plates I used to lick the photographs of the things I'd most like my mum to cook or bake.

We will often have trifle at Christmas too, with homemade egg custard, sponges and lashings of cream.

Summer Pavlovas are always a highlight. Basically any cake or dessert is fine by me.

Trifle!?!? on a cake thread!
Is disappoint.
Meat pie here, a cake for men
Not exactly cake but Mrs Gti has started baking millionaire's shortbread (that's topical!) and it's bloomin' gorgeous - so moreish.
Happily someone has invited me out for a steak tonight so I won't have to fight the urge to eat a slice after supper.

Coffee and walnut or, if it counts, tea loaf.
As a mid/post bike ride this for me also. Coffee and Walnut with a cup Coffee and Tea Loaf with a pot of Yorkshire tea. Happy days.
As a desert type then i'm inclined for Tiramisu.
Lemon Drizzle or a Victoria Sponge for me, boring, but so good!
Without any hesitation its cheesecake in any flavour!
My New York baked cheesecake is my favourite. Sadly it's huge and hubby doesn't like it, so its an annual treat.
+1 for cheesecake, assuming it counts.
What about Flan that you get in france but, inexplicably, not here? If I had a source for that it may well be all I ate...
This old saying reminds me of cake...
[i]Q, describe the worst blowjob you've ever had?...
A, wonderfull![/i]
All cake is good cake...
When it's good its great. when it's bad, it's still pretty good...
If cocaine is gods way of telling you you have too much money, cake is gods way of telling you life is good,
And beer is gods way of telling you he loves you...
(If there is a god at all)
In a fantasy world where i eat cake, probably chocolate swiss roll with buttercream filling.
Mrs coconut & lime.
Any cake with filling and icing. Obviously, carrot cake doesn't count as real cake DOES NOT CONTAIN VEGETABLES!!!!
Pretty much any cake.
Lemon, chocolate, coffee walnut, battenbuug, Christmas cake......mmmmmmm
Carrot
Genoa. Or any fruit based cake really. How about a tart? Could I have a slice or two of bakewell tart?
bakewell tart
Genoa?
no, I don't actually
carrot cake must be moist.
too many are dry and stale, with wet icing to make up for being stale and dry.
Fruit cake/Christmas cake/tea loaf.
Moist carrot cake.
I once had an amazing toffee cake at Arkwright's Mill at Cromford. Never seen it there since. I keep going back to look.
Cheesecake is a dessert, not a cake. It is the best dessert in the world and though.
Banana cake here in the UK.
In a foreign land far far away I prefer the Durian cake ... some say it smells like cat shite but I love it ... 😆
In no order:
1. Proper eggy yellow Victoria sponge liberally adulterated with fresh cream.
2. Mrs MRs homestyle New York cheesecake made with 6 tubs of Philly, soured cream, vanilla pods, piled high and deep, baked until golden brown crust. Topped with fresh cream, blueberries and strawberries. Paradise on a plate. Only had two in ten years (special occasions) and costs a small fortune to make but ye gods now I want it.
3. Big round chocolate cake with fresh cream filling and chocolate topping. Like wot you'd see in the Beano or a Famous Five picnic. How can it be beaten?

Welsh cakes or those cake mixes from M&S they are doing at the moment, carrot and chocolate ones, dead easy and taste fantastic
Debs' Lemon Drizzle..
My homemade Sachertorte clone. Somewhere on here there's a picture of what looks like a huge hunk of hash, that's the cake.
Files away for next pootle cake making.My New York baked cheesecake is my favourite. Sadly it's huge and hubby doesn't like it, so its an annual treat.
