Let Them Eat Cake

What's your favorite way to eat cake? A slice of layer cake or a cupcake? For me a slice of layer cake every time! I like a ratio of cake to frosting in every bite. My favorite cake, it's a toss up between German chocolate and carrot. What's yours?

Carrot cake with cream cheese frosting.

I like both of your favorites!!! But I also like red velvet.

I also love carrot cake and German chocolate cake.

I seldom eat cake, or cake-like stuff. I love doughnuts, which I also VERY seldom eat. But just yesterday I made some chocolate cake doughnuts. Well, I didn't actually MAKE them - I used a King Arthur mix to which you just add an egg, some veg oil, and water. Mix that up and into your doughnut pan and in the oven. Then I make a glaze with semi-sweet chocolate, corn syrup, butter, and a combination of vanilla and coconut extract, and top that with coconut that I toast on the stove. So that's one way I like to eat 'cake'. They are rather delicate cake doughnuts and quite nice. One of those takes the place of a piece of cake very well.

I love cake, but gave it up because my triglycerides are so high. My doc told me sugar is inflammatory and aggravates pain, and I have fibromyalgia, so I also gave up candy. I do eat some very sweet and tasty granola bars. I also gave up McDonald fries and burgers. Sigh. I check everything formfat and cholesterol now. I got my sweet tooth jollies for many years. My favorite is frosted angel food.

My favorite cake is a white cake with some kind of fruit filling, like lemon, or even custard. White frosting on top with a pink frosting rose.

Very smart advice from your doc.

Refined sugar is just plain toxic. I, admittedly, sometimes consume sugar but one thing that is glaringly obvious is that I feel a LOT better when I avoid it. I also have an auto-immune disease but even if I didn't I'd be best served to avoid refined sugar, as we all would.

I prefer a slice of cake to a cupcake. Favorite cake? Hmm. I do love German chocolate cake but a nearby deli makes a wonderful carrot cake.

I love cake!!!! Now I'm in the mood to go to the fancy pastry shop and get something. I love German chocolate cake, but only when it's home made (but not by me, lol!).
