The best piece of cake is MY CAKE

Chocolate cheese cake .... does that count??



Though really all cake is good, as long as I get a big piece I'm not complaining hehehe.

I used to live in midtown Sacramento, where there were lots of cake and coffee shops. There was one that had every kind of cake you could want to eat, baked there daily. It was a tiny place, with small cafe tables outside and it had a European name. And all kinds of different beverages. When you walked by it, it just smelled so good.

:p

Yah, I even applied for a job there, even though I knew nothing about working in a bakery. Just so I could be smelling cake all day. I didn't even get an interview. And I remember that it was a bit high priced for a slice of cake. They must have had secret recipes.

:)

Sock it to me cake is good (also known as "better than sex" cake )

My favorite though is watergate cake

Now you've got to give us the recipes for BOTH of them! :-6

Is it okay to post those here in this thread?

I'll do that now, and if it's not the right place, I'll move it

Here's the Sock it to me recipe (this is one I had to copy, as I'm at work, and mine is at home, but it's basically the same)

1 package of Duncan Hines butter recipe golden cake mix

1 cup of dairy sour cream

1/2 cup of Crisco oil (other brands may cause cake to fail)

1/4 cup of sugar

1/4 cup of water

4 eggs

Filling

1 cup of pecans, chopped

2 tablespoons of brown sugar

2 tablespoons of cinnamon

Mix and beat the ingredients at high speed for 2 minutes. Pour 2/3 of the batter in a greased and floured 10 inch tube pan. Combine the filling ingredients and sprinkle over batter in pan. Spread remaining batter evenly over batter and filling mixture. Bake at 375ºF. for 45 to 55 minutes until cake springs back when touched lightly. Cool right side up for about 25 minutes, then remove from pan. Drizzle a glaze of 1 cup confectioners sugar and 2 tablespoons milk over cake.



Watergate cake

1 pkg. cake mix, white

1 pkg. instant pistachio pudding

1 c. oil -as directed on cake mix

3 whole eggs - as directed on cake mix

1 c. ginger ale (can use club soda) *use this instead of the water in the cake mix directions

1 c. chopped pecans (chopped very fine)

Watergate cake frosting

1 tub cool whip (1 large tub, but if you use the small ones, it'll take 2)

1 package pistachio pudding

1 cup chopped pecans

I will definitely try those, Miz

I always like recipes where you can 'soup up' a boxed cake mix

Yummy :p

And thanks for taking the time to post it all

Not a problem, let me know how they turn out

I love to cook, and desserts are fun, especially cheesecake.

Hey Miz

Me too! I've got a great recipe for white chocolate cheesecake.

And I make my streudel from scratch -- do you guys know what streudel is? It's homemade pastry dough filled with apples, cinnamon and sugar, raisins, nuts and a touch of lemon juice. With extra cinnamon and sugar on top.

I'm pretty good with appetizers, too. My latest and greatest is a carmelized onion pizza. :-6

As I've stated before, I get bored very easily so I'm always on the lookout for new things.

My favourite type of cake is one that you've made yourself. I make all my own cakes and my kids love them. I do a wicked sponge cake with cream, home made, and lovely fairy cakes. I like to make ginger and maderia too!

Hiya Annie

Welcome to our Garden. I just read your profile page -- anyone who loves "The Shawshank Redemption" is just fine with me! :-6

Hi Cherandbuster. Thanks for making me feel welcome. I hope I can make some good friends on here. I belonged to the Holistic Shop discussion forum a while ago where I did dream interpretations and I miss doing that. Maybe I could start it up on here. Thanks once again

You are entirely welcome. Feel free to PM me with any questions. I'm happy to help out :-6

Carrot cake. Altho I believe its the cream cheese icing that wins me over every time, because quite frankly who was the nutter that decided to put vegetables in cake?

Mmmmmm yeah, I have a heavenly recipe for carrot cake. And it has real cream cheese for the frosting. The frosting had a big chunk of cream cheese, with powdered sugar and vanilla mixed into it. And the cake calls for several grated carrots and lots of brown sugar and cinnamon.

Iced coffee with that for sure.:-6

I do like a slice of walnut and coffee cake, with a really good cup of java. :yh_coffee

I've never been known to turn down lemon drizzle cake, either. Sounds so .......sumptuous, doesn't it? Dribble....mmmm.....:yh_drool

date and walnut or lemon drizzle, *drool, slobber* I don't make them often though 'cus I ration the kids to one slice each and scoff the rest myself:rolleyes:

It's a mistake - "you can't eat your cake and have it!".

Bill Sikes wrote: It's a mistake - "you can't eat your cake and have it!".

But the very very verrry favourite is the italian ice cream and the panettone

What's the best piece of cake?

A BIG piece of course!!!

I made my BF a birthday cake with 2 packs of butter, 4 big bars of belgian chocolate, a tin of green and blacks cocoa and a bag and a half of icing sugar!

YUMMERS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chocolate cake with ice cream. Don't believe me? Just read the last page of the bothwells pub thread.....:-3

I see this post got more replies than I had anticipated. I guess everyone likes cake huh?:p

Not a huge cakey fan but id say my homemade banana & fruit cake with a big fat cuppa would do tyvm!

Fanny does make exceedingly good cakes

Not being a big cake person, I would have to answer cheese cake. Just a plain chesecake, maybe with a bit of strawberries or cherries on top.

OK, chocolate Cheesecake is OK. No caramel though.

Oh, I love making cheesecakes. I've got loads of recipes for various ones, and make them often. My favorite, though, is the chocolate one. It's thick and rich and heavenly.
