[yellowdogintexas]

49. I like a cup of boiled custard along with my coconut cake. It was a big Christmas tradition

in my family.

[MiHale]

23. Opera Cake...

Opera cake is a classic, elaborate French dessert featuring layers of coffee-soaked almond sponge cake (joconde), coffee buttercream, and chocolate ganache, topped with a chocolate glaze, often with the word "Opéra" written on top. It's known for its rich coffee and chocolate flavor, and while time-consuming, it's considered an impressive and decadent treat for special occasions.

[debm55]

24. Oh wow, that sounds so delicious. Thank you for sharing Opera Cake with us, MiHale.

[Emile]

29. pie. but carrot/spice/yellow w/ buttercream frosting.

[50 Shades Of Blue]

30. Smith Island Cake (official cake of Maryland)

For those who haven't heard of it, it's a cake made from lots of thin layers of yellow cake separated by chocolate frosting (and frosted all over with chocolate frosting). I'm of the "cake is only there to support the frosting" school, lol.

Raspberry torte sounds yummy too!

[3catwoman3]

44. 'I'm of the "cake is only there to support the frosting" school'

Me, too. GMTA -

The more frosting the better!

[SWBTATTReg]

31. Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate!!!

But my favorite bday cake was not a bday cake, it was pumpkin pie!! Mom would fix this vs. a cake. Ah, the memories!

[MIButterfly]

32. On my mother's last birthday, she wanted pumpkin pie instead of cake

I was in the kitchen, lighting the "eight" and "three" numbered candles and, in my peripheral vision, I could see her come to the kitchen and then turn back to go to the livingroom. When I brought the pie out with the lit candles, she acted so surprised.

I thought that was so sweet of her. ❤️

[SWBTATTReg]

33. Good ol' Mom. Wish here a happy Bday too for me!

[MIButterfly]

36. I'm sorry; I meant to write "...on her last birthday before she died..."

But I appreciate your sentiment. Thank you.

[SWBTATTReg]

37. Ohhh! I am so sorry to bring you pain!! Pls. forgive me, and her memory will live beside my memories of

my Mom making a pumpkin pie too, stead of a birthday cake for my birthday. Days in which I remember w/ fondness.

Take care and go forth w/ joy!

[MIButterfly]

39. No, you didn't bring me any pain at all.

It was my fault for not being clear. I can see how "her last birthday" wouldn't necessarily mean her last birthday ever.

You take care and go forth with joy as well!

[mwmisses4289]

34. Mug cake!

Love making these, as they can be customized and bake in the microwave.

[pansypoo53219]

35. 'i forgot coconut + cheesecake. i have made some good cheesecakes. coffee. plain w/ pecan topping(yes we pecan

the plain w/ rhubarb topping. strawberry. the PINK SQUIRREL CHEESECAKE.

[some_of_us_are_sane]

38. I have TWO!

Chocolate cake with chocolate icing and pound cake with buttercream icing. YUM!"

[MIButterfly]

40. Chocolate cake!

When I was a kid, I absolutely loved having a slice of fresh chocolate cake with a cold glass of milk. It was such a perfect combination to me.

[3catwoman3]

42. Cold milk is the best chaser for pastry/baked goods of any kind.

I put a mug of milk in the freezer long enough for it to get a crust of ice on the surface of the milk, so it is really, really cold.

[3catwoman3]

41. I live way, way too near a Nothing Bundt Cakes franchise...

...and am very fond of their chocolate/chocolate chip and red velvet flavors, both of which are frosted with generous amounts of vanilla cream cheese frosting.

In nice weather, I can walk there, and have done so on a few occasions, figuring I might burn off about 2 bites worth of calories -

[applegrove]

43. Strawberry short cake.

[RockCreek]

45. Coconut Cake with Raspberry Filling between the layers

[JMCKUSICK]

47. Pineapple upside down cake here

[ProfessorGAC]

48. I Guess German Chocolate

Not a big cake eater, but I'd have a hard time passing up a slice of german chocolate cake.

[yellowdogintexas]

50. German Chocolate or coconut.

WHen I bake a coconut cake I fill between the layers with some of the frosting, some drained crushed pineapplel and some coconut. Then frost the whole thing with the white frosting and lots of coconut on the outside.
Oh yes and I make Ermine frosting for this cake, not buttercream or cream cheese. It is a light and delicate frosting that only uses 1 cup of regular granulated sugar so it isn't too sweet.

I always wanted German Chocolate for my birthday cake.

[Coolgoober]

51. Apple sauce Raisin

With butter cream frosting. My grandfather used to make it and I loved it. Now my daughter makes the same recipe (from scratch as he did) for me. I'm spoiled

[MackinacBridge]

52. Chocolate Spoon Cake

served on the long distance Amtrak trains, especially when they put whipped cream on it.
At home, chocolate mayonnaise cake with cooked chocolate frosting.

[flvegan]

53. I love my baby's poundcake.

[MolecularDust]

54. Cheesecake

However, the best cake I’ve ever had in my life is Paul Prudhomme’s spiced pecan cake. I’ve made it once for a couples gourmet group that my ex and I belonged to. It literally takes all day to make this cake if you follow the original recipe, but it’s divine! I always thought I’d make it again some day when I’m snowed in with nothing much else to do - but that hasn’t happened ~ YET.

[area51]

55. Chocolate.

[Morbius]

56. As long as it is fresh, I'll eat it.

I don't know if I have a favorite, but vanilla ice cream cake sounds pretty damn good at the moment.

[retread]

57. Lemon Drizzle

[OldBaldy1701E]

58. The kind that is placed in front of me!

Actually, I would have to say either five-layer fudge, or carrot.

But, I have yet to meet a cake that I did not like!

[DFW]

59. One for which the recipe got lost

My grandmother used to make it, and passed it on to my mom, but we can’t find it.

It is/was a dark chocolate layer cake with a moist icing of dark chocolate mixed with just the right amount of coffee.

If it could meet the daily nutritional needs, I could have subsisted on that alone for decades!
