So whats the favourite- subject very close to my own heart as i love cake.
Yum, John

Made a great cake at the weekend- very simple too, and dairy free- heres the recipe:
6 tablespoons (big) of sugar, SR flour and marge (markies dairy free is the best)
3 eggs
mixit up and if your brave do the holding it above your head trick.
into greased or foil lined circular cases (9" i think) and into the oven at 180 (preheated)
make the filling with the marge, icing sugar, milk (soy, goats, cows- no matter) or water (just a little and a drop of vanilla essence.
I filled mine with rhubarb and strawb jam (i strained it) as well as the dairy free icing, but only after the cake had cooled for hour or so (very hard restraining myself)
dust with icing sugar and eat (do i have to tell you)

Please could you add "all the above" to your voting as that is what I would have to say! I can't choose!! I love most cakes, the only one I can think I wouldn't vote for is a coconut one.

Can't beat my Mum's ginger loaf - good + sticky on the outside, soft + moist on the inside :-*

Why do mums make the best cakes?

She makes a mean cherry too, and fruit, and sponge, and...

My family just love Chocolate chip and banana cake - one of them is watching me typing and wants one made now!

I love all cake except ginger (devil's food) and gatueax with all that poncy fake cream. I dont think you can beat sponge straight out of the oven. Doesn't matter what variety. Banana loaf, marble cake, viccy sponge, coconut, lemon, almond ..... etc,etc. I want cake now :-\

Had to pick other cake, as I adore all cakes....battenburgs, dundee, angel, choccy, christmas, victoria, date and walnut, carrot....oh the list goes on and on. I love cakes, and cakes love my hips and thighs!

Return of the mac I see from your Avatar that you're a pumpkin fan. Ever tried pumpkin cake? The recipe is out there is you Google ;D

How about a none of the above option?

I adore cake. But Mr Aqui doesn't eat sugar at all and I've cut it down a lot (once a week now!) so I can't make a whole cake for me to eat in one day!

I make a lovely sugar-free apple cake. Absolutely delicious! Tried a sugar-free carrot cake, but it turned out like a pancake!

Well Wardy- not really a pumkin fan- just hoping to grow one that big!

#1 daughter's egg sponge - why, oh why, do we teach our children something, only to have THEIRS turn out miles better >:( - the joys of parenthood ;D

All best - Gavin

I love all cake! But home-made sponge or brownies warm from the oven have to be up their with the top! :o

bunnycat · « **Reply #15 on:** May 26, 2005, 19:53:46 »

I just had to vote 'other' because I can't decide between my faves :D

I love a nice simple sponge, but my Dad also makes the best fruit cake in the world. He does the family Xmas cake every year, and always does a small one to send up to me. I get to eat the whole lot as well, because hubby doesn't eat dried fruit :P

I also adore coffee and walnut cake and lemon drizzle cake.

Might have been easier to say which ones I didn't like ;D

I had to go for fruit cake. I love Christmas cake, and make my own and my MIL's every year, well except last Christmas, but I was some what preoccupied having just had a baby ;D ;D ;D ;D

Congrats on that rhibi ;D

I'm sure your MIL was far more chuffed with another lovely little grandchild than she could ever have been with a cake ;)

Thought you might all like to know that I have just tucked into the most delicious mid-morning snack ever! Gorgeous soft fluffy sponge, filled with cream, jam and fresh strawberries! Mmm mmm mmmmmmmmm! Can't beat it! ;D
