What is your favourite cake or pudding?

[Toxic]

You know when you go to them all you can eat buffet places..or stay in a fancy hotel on holiday with all the little mini desserts

I tend to go mental on them and will try pretty much everything...but I always seem to return to a good old profiterole or 10!

[Dougella]

Chocolate cake.

Apple crumble/pie and custard.

[Mo34]

Anything richly chocolate.

Do like Rhubarb crumble too.

Chocolate eclairs are my fav., proper bakery ones.

[AireleeBray]

impossible to choose just 1.
banana cake/carrot cake/red velvet cake/chocolate fudge cake
brownies & anything to do with cookie dough

1. Birthday cake! They're better (and more expensive) from confectioners though because they contain more buttercream, and the cake seems fresher. Most of the supermarket cakes contain too much jam, which makes them too sickly sweet. I only buy birthday cakes as an occasional treat, and share it with my mum, but I end up eating most of it because she's more of a savoury person.

2. Chocolate cake. Either with fresh cream or chocolate buttercream. I usually make my own but morrisons have a couple of nice ones.

3. Cupcakes. I always make my own because I'm not keen on the buttercream they tend to use because it tastes weird - overly sweet, yet tasteless. I just mix icing sugar and water, then sprinkles. Homemade cake tastes nicer too.

Oh, and practically anything that contains strawberries.

my fav pudding is the haggis, nothing like mushy guts spilling out of a burst sheeps stomach mmmmm

[newbs16]

I like banana splits with cream and ice cream, I can't remember the last time I had one.

[kirbycrackle]

I like apple crumble but I won't say no to most cakes :0

[gregarious_introvert]

It's hard to pick just one, but I'm strangely addicted to zabaglione; I also love crème brulee, custard tart, sticky toffee pudding (but I tend to eat it only in Cartmel), bakewell pudding (I've tried all three of the shops in Bakewell which claim to sell the original recipe and I'm still none the wiser), brandy alexander pie, bread and butter pudding (and probably a million things I can't remember right now). I find it almost impossible to walk past any ice cream parlour which has an unusual flavour, but I'm not a lover of cake (or pastry, except choux pastry - I do love a profiterole). Like Toxic, I will attack all the mini-desserts at an AYCE buffet, but I don't have that much of a sweet tooth, normally I'd rather have more main course than a dessert. EDIT: I forgot tiramisu, banoffee pie, cheesecake and Angel Delight, rice pudding and custard. I do like one cake - Black Forest Gateau (although I haven't made one for years!).

[gregarious_introvert]

^I found a geladeria in Madeira which had a Pasteis de Natas flavoured ice cream, which was absolute heaven! Your mention of donut fingers reminded me that I get cravings for custard-filled doughnuts (ideally, doughnuts filled with apple and custard, but those are rare to find).

[Professor Willow]

I'm struggling to choose between good old apple crumble with some evaporated milk or a lump of Christmas pudding and clotted cream for the pudding.

I like most cakes but a nice Victoria sponge is hard to beat in my opinion

[anxiouslondoner]

^ I don't understand the kind of alchemy that can turn carrots (dull hard orange boring vegetable) into cake (nice tasty soft foodstuff)
Never mind splitting the atom or making giant metal birds fly across continents, this is a truely mankind's greatest achievement.

Maybe sticky toffee pudding.

I love sponge cakes, but only with fresh cream. I don't like buttercream. Chocolate sponge with fresh cream is lovely, but hard to find.

[Silent Ninja]

Tiramisu (I just made a good one last weekend).



Also lots of cakes from Patisserie Valerie or Tom's Cakes in St Ives.

Not all haggis is in a stomach but some will be

I guess i dont know what the stomach tastes like cos haggis is very peppery. Or maybe stomachs taste of pepper?

Im getting weirded out about swallowing a stomach and having stomach in your stomach but then i guess its not different from licking a tongue with your tongue and tasting it tasting you or looking at an eye with your eye and seeing it seeing you

I like all puddings!! Seriously! So long as they don***8217;t have weird fruits in them.

But I especially like anything with high amounts of chocolate, or cheese cake.

I need to stop thinking about cake now!!

cheese cake is the hero we want but dont deserve. god damn dat cheesecake so fyne, we should be so lucky

[notanotherone02]

I***8217;m now craving cheese cake at 1am as a direct result of posting about it earlier!!! Lol!

[KookyBlue]

At the moment its red velvet cake or something fruit based like an apple crumble or cherry pie with ice cream. Sticky toffee pudding but yes has to be from Cartmel. Also any kind of cheesecake.

[Consolida]

Unfortunately I have the sweetest tooth known to man and love almost all cakes and puddings. If it wasn’t for the fear of getting fat and unhealthy, ending up witn Diabetes and losing all my teeth I’d eat cake and puddings every day, all day long!! Infact, when I eat out somewhere I’ll only eat the main course as a way of getting to dessert!

On a chilly Winters day you can’t beat a fruit crumble with lashings of custard or a bread and butter pud with lots of sultanas and raisins and dusted with a little cinnamon. Oh and Sticky Toffee pudding or Syrup sponge never fails to hit the spot!
When the weather warms up I love a Summer pudding - the bread soaked in the juice of the seasons red berries and served with a huge dollop of clotted cream. And Eton Mess - sugary fluffy meringue, strawberries and chantilly cream - yum!!!

As for cakes, you can’t beat a nice victoria sponge with lashings of jam and vanilla buttercream, warmed chocolate fudge cake, or a coffee and walnut cake. Oh, and a moist tangy lemon drizzle cake is scrumptious too!

As a child my favourites were Angel cake, Fondant fancies, Battenburg, Jam tarts, Bakewell tarts and treacle tarts but even they are a little too sweet for my sweet tooth now

[anxiouslondoner]

@biscuits .... do my ears decieve me!? It's both cheese and cake, at the SAME TIME... how could anything be imperfect about such a holy intermingling of the most blessed foodstuffs?
