What's Your Favorite Cake?

[BearcatsFan]

Lately, my husband has had a complete obsession with cake. His favorite is chocolate with whipped chocolate icing, and he's been bringing one home every other week. This past Friday, he brought home some vanilla bean ice cream, too. It's so hard to resist when I'm home all day alone with it!

I love carrot cake or spice cake with cream cheese icing, or German chocolate cake. Don't get to have them often anymore, but I do enjoy a very small piece from time to time.

What's your favorite?

My favorites are the same as yours.

I rarely make them though, don't need them in the house.

I do make DH a German Chocolate every year for his birthday though.

Just whipped up a batch of our favorite! It's kind of cake/kind of not - sticky toffee pudding (from Rose and Crown!). The date cake is delicious all by itself, so I don't feel too bad calling it cake! Then when you add in the cream and rum sauces ...... wonderful!!!!

1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter
1-1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1-1/4 cups buttermilk or sour milk
1 cup heavy cream
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Melt 1/3 cup of chocolate morsels. Grease and flour bottoms of two 9-inch layer pans. Combine graham-cracker crumbs and melted butter. Stir in walnuts and 2/3 cup chocolate morsels; set aside. Combine flour with soda and salt.

Cream butter in large mixing bowl. Gradually add 1-1/2 cups sugar; cream until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each. Blend in melted chocolate and vanilla extract. At low speed, add dry ingredients, alternately with buttermilk, beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Mix well after each addition. Pour into pans. Sprinkle with reserved crumb mixture.

I have two. The first is a raspberry cake with Cool Whip mixed with raspberry frosting. The second one is a chocolate chip cake. Both are very easy to make.

Personally, I like yellow cake the best!

Delicious!

About the only cake I would perfer not to see served, is an Angle Food cake. I just can't get into that.

Oh my goodness, I have never heard about this recipe but I know I would love it! (I love coconut)
Other than that, carrot cake with cream cheese frosting gets my vote.
But I really do like just about any kind of cake.

Miami beach birthday cake is my favorite but since I am too lazy to make it (my mother is the one who made it) I like yellow cake with chocolate frosting.

I haven't made this in forever, but it's very good.

Chocolate Chip Cake
1 3/4 cups boiling water
1 cup quick oats
3/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter or margarine - softened
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 3/4 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 Tablespoon cocoa powder (heaping)
1/2 teaspoon salt (I usually only use 1/4 teaspoon)
16oz bag milk chocolate chips, divided

Preheat oven to 350F. Grease or spray a 13x9 pan.

Put oatmeal in a large bowl. Pour boiling water over it and let it stand 10 minutes. Add sugars and margarine or butter and mix well. Stir in eggs and vanilla. Add in all dry ingredients except chocolate chips - mix well. Fold in 12oz chocolate chips until well-combined.

Pour batter into prepared pan. Top with remaining chocolate chips (I usually use extra on top if I have more on hand). Bake in preheated oven for 40 minutes.

Allow to cool completely, then cut into squares.

Enjoy!
