[Closed] Your favourite mid-ride cake choice?

carrot if in a cafe
malt loaf if trailside midride

i dont take cake with me 😥

(i will be less fat, i will be less fat *repeat to fade*)

My wife, or 'HRH' as I usually refer to her, makes an amazing coconut fuba cake thing ... a Brazilian recipe so not something I can find 'mid ride' unless I bring it with me

Or Soreen. The original malt loaf, not the banana loaf nonsense. And no butter either. That's just strange.

I was always partial to a jumbo swiss roll as a mid-ride snack. An entire one.

PS - this is a rant / argue free zone ...

Trust a lady to impose such a rule.

Lardy Cake.

Currently, jaffa cakes.

There's plenty of reasons why the belgian bun isn't a good idea, but who gives a stuff - I've had mid-ride cream teas, icecream, burger, rocky road...! 🙂

I don't know what they put in that chocolate cake Sue, but I did 3 more laps! I do like a good carrot cake.

tiffin / fridge cake/ tray bake.

mmmm 😀

PS - this is a rant / argue free zone ...

in that case im calling "jaffa cake"

EDIT: pipped at the post by klumpy

Last weekends cafe stop in Samye Ling (TSY I thought of you when we were there 🙂 ) was chocolate cake and a double espresso. Nom. Close second was the banana cake which the bf had.

Edit, i want cake now dammit 😡

philc and TSY 😆

Ton - you've now got me thinking of carrot cake ... yum, yum, yum

Kev - 3 more laps!!! Blimus! I'm going to call in the 'too knackered cos I was climbing last night' excuse ...

As I'm new here - Hello - this seems a nice (non controversial) place to join the conversation. My love is for a fruity Genoa cake.

Sexist!! I'm leaving the forum.

Malt Loaf for me - it doesn't matter if it gets crushed and generally kicked around - it still looks much the same.

yeah, squashed flat malt loaf wrapped around a banana is always a mid-ride winner. As is proper creamy fudge. hmm, you could squash fudge flat and wrap it round a jelly baby. Gonna try that.

Sod this, I'm off to tescos.. need some cakey goodness..

There is only one TRUE cake and it is called Victoria sponge. And a nice cup of tea.

Pfft, cakes...

Strawberry tarts. More a mid college day thing than a mid ride however, lucky to have half a bottle of lucozade for a mid ride break.

maltloaf with jam and mature cheddar for the win.

Homemade Rocky Road

Or, a nice slab of coffee & walnut cake 😀 Mmmmmmmm

sorry but malt loaf is not a cake! FACT! (sorry thats me doing a TJ, must resist) but it did remind me of a couple of riding buddies having a competition to see who could stuff the most malt loaf in their mouths at once on a ride

one of them nearly choked to death...

Anything from the Inshriach Nursery is good for me, pre, mid or post ride.

Mate and I shared a pack of Mrs Crimble's damn fine choccy macaroons last saturday.

millionaire's shortbread

although, thinking about it, the pecan and coconut pie from The Jinny Ring is also awesome

Best ever mid-ride cake I've had was some lemon drizzle cake baked by a 90+ year old lady and sold at the little church near High Beech, Epping.

In fact it was some of the nicest cake I've ever had. Simply incredible.

I don't have a picture of the cake. I was too busy eating it to faff around photographing it!

You have to ask? Bara Brith!
