Love love love cake! pea I love bakewell tart, that's what I was referring to but I couldn't remember what it was called. A good home made one is divine. I like the Nigella Guinness and chocolate cake, have you tried that? It's the easiest cake I've ever made and turns out perfect every time. I like mine a little bit sticky in the middle so adjust the oven temp so it's a little lower. The sides go tiny bit dry and crumbly and the middle is still gooey - Mmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackboots Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 Any ... As long as it has chocolate in it , on it or with it ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akasully2 Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 I love cake. I love eating them and baking them. I LOVE CAKE!!!!!! If it has almonds in it even better. I make a delicious almond sponge with cherries in it, topped with almond icing and shredded coconut. I can't walk past the tin without stopping to cut a bit off. Cake never lasts in our house very long. My husband said he married me because I could bake cakes, unlike his mother! We raised two boys who have inherited our cake munching obsession, hence the tin is often empty! Better get baking.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nikkiwd Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 Rob T where does the Dome get their cakes from out of interest? (from a nosy pastry chef) Mines a carrot cake, coffee and walnut cake or a good old Belgiun Bun by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odies Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 A lobby is a bit like a stew, you put all the veg ,meat,etc in but cook it slowly on the hob. It is a stoke on trent term, we also eat loads of oatcakes which are not cakes at all , but delicious with cheese,bacon,tomato all wrapped up like a fajita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lou8670 Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 Just finished work and read your lists of lovely, scrummy cakes...yum!!! I can't wait until our welcome barbie followed by LOTS OF CAKE! Maybe we should start a variation on the 'Pudding Club' and start our own 'Cake Club' where we all bring a different cake and eat mainly cake! Mines a chocolate cake, Victoria sponge, brownie or bakewell tart...I do love a good tart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
