What's your favourite flavour of cake?

Not Madeleine, Vinteuil?

... no, - but madeleines were, I think, the pâtisserie of choice of that introvert effeminate snobbish young whippersnapper who used to prowl around the village and was found snooping in at my windows - disgusting... Tho' he did apparently like my compositions - and did go on to write some amusing pastiches ... (But I was dead by then )

Natas! Yum!

yes indeedy -

as the late great Alan Davidson says in his magisterial Oxford Companion to Food - "... the rich dessert confections associated with convents and making great use of egg yolk - for some people the outstanding Portuguese delicacies."

I love caraway seed cake, but if you want it nowadays you have to make it yourself. My son made one for my last birthday. Otherwise I'm with salymap - date and walnut.

I rarely eat cake but I prefer coffee and walnut, also Madeira but I haven't had a decent one of those since my Grandmother died. Ginger cake is rather nice occasionally. Not really a cake but Yorkshire Curd Tart is lovely but increasingly hard to come by.

Genoa - preferably with at least three glacé cherries per slice. More often I have a dark-chocolate digestive bicky during the OT lesson. If the Mag disappoints, I indulge myself with another (McVitie in A flat) during the second lesson. Thus I rely in part on the CE host choir to help control my waistline.

Lemon Drizzle Cake. Preferably still warm as the lemon syrup just reaches the base......Mmmmmm.

If music be the love of food, eat on

I'm very partial to a coffee cake myself. I often eat it while listening to CE.

What kind of cake do you eat at 5 pm on a Wednesday?

Normally still at work at 5 pm most days but I do like a piece of parkin with my afternoon coffee.

[Magnificat]

Scripture cake seems to be the cake to eat during CE. You can find the recipe on Google.

Is Red Velvet Cake purely an American thing?

If so, yay us.

Vicarage cake at tea time.

20-minute old Victoria sponge with a wild strawberry and fresh cream filling at all other times.
