Cakes you don't eat

[Cloo]

Always disappointed when the only cake option is coffee and walnut, I don't do coffee and I don't do it in cakes. And does anyone actually like fruit cake? Why does it exist? I will eat most other cakes, though I aways find victoria sponge a bit 'meh' and I'm not that interested in carrot cake unless it's the flour-free one I make which tastes more like lemon cake anyway.

As long as it's got gluten in it I'm not fussy.

 

[Puddy_Tat]

no objection to fruit cake - can (depending on how it's been made) be a bit dry and meh, but that's a fault in the specification or construction, not the concept

don't do coffee cake (just don't like coffee) or anything with chocolate or too much cream in, as they disagree with my guts...

I don't eat yellowcake

 

[StoneRoad]

I have access to a spectacular carrot cake recipe ...

I make a mean rich fruit cake (but I'll have some un-iced in order to eat it with Wensleydale).

Can't be doing with coconut in or on cakes, but otherwise I'll eat most types ...

Try telling that to your friendly 'interviewers' after you've been rendered to a black site after ill-advisedly transiting through Niger on your hols

Yes, that would be ill-advised.

I enjoy most cakes, but red velvet doesn’t appeal - I assume it’s just flavoured with red food colouring

 

[Cloo]

My husband is a chocolate cake refuser, so gets a bit annoyed if eldest or I bake one.

 

[Looby]

I’ll eat pretty much any cake tbh. A good Victoria sponge really can be perfect with a pot of tea.
I also like those trashy, synthetic cakes you get in Costco and everything in between.
Citrus is probably my least likely choice but I do like lemon drizzle.
fruitcake can’t be too dry (I refuse to use the m word) and not have peel in it.
Chocolate cake can be really dry too and needs shitloads of fudge frosting.
I bought a gorgeous Dorset apple cake a couple of weeks ago and took the remains camping last weekend. God, it was amazing.

I am a bit suspicious of some of the vegetable cakes but carrot cake is lovely.

I fucking love cake.

Red Velvet is far too sweet (and an unnatural colour), as are most carrot cakes, particularly with the frosting. Chocolate cakes are a bit much, something with chocolate is acceptable. Fruit cakes are generally too heavy.

Vehicle for thick cream cheese frosting.

I understand the words but have difficulty with the concept. See also 'Beers you don't drink'

 

[May Kasahara]

I love carrot cake but all too often people insist on ruining it with dried fruit.

Coffee cake can fuck off.

Anything almond or marzipan-flavoured can fuck off even harder.

 

[hitmouse]

It's not made from plants. It's made from chemicals by sick bastards.

Fucking loads. Most shit lagers.

 

[RubyToogood]

I usually avoid brownies.

OK. 'can't drink' then

 

[Elpenor]

I like lemon (anything citrus really) and coffee and walnut cake but they always promise more than they deliver. Victoria sponge is for those people who eat vanilla ice cream and cheese and tomato pizzas.

What is a vegetable cake? Not sure I’ve ever had one; is it one of those made with courgette / beetroot etc?

 

[maomao]

I love almost any cake, including coffee cake, fruit cake, all the unpopular ones. I currently have a slight carrot cake obsession. But Mrs maomao makes little cupcakes with courgette in them and they are fucking horrible, I will not eat them under any circumstances.

I also don't eat urinal cakes.

 

[Throbbing Angel]

I've never had a nice/good Simnel Cake and most Christmas Cake is bollocks too, as is that white sauce they serve it with.

 

[Mrs Miggins]

I love all the cake and I absolutely ADORE fruit cake. It is the Queen of Cake.

I also like coffee cake.

And everyone can give all their marzipan to me!

Red velvet is slightly problematic as it's just very sweet, dyed chocolate cake. That really does promise way more than it delivers.

I also bloody love a plain baked vanilla cheesecake. Lush.

Don't care for Twinkies

[Spymaster]

Don’t think I’ve ever enjoyed a piece of Christmas cake.

 

[scifisam]

Don't like coffee cake or walnut cake either - just too bitter. TBH I'm not a huge cake fan; prefer baking it to eating it most of the time.

I've never had a nice/good Simnel Cake and most Christmas Cake is bollocks too, as is that white sauce they serve it with.

I was worried about what "sauce" your family had been putting on your Christmas cake, toll I realised you probably mean brandy butter.

 

[Calamity1971]

Can't remember the last time I ate cake. Used to make my own carrot cake without that shite sweet stuff on top that shops sell.
I'd rather have a plate of good mash or a pasty.

 

[Mrs Miggins]

Thinking about it, I avoid cupcakes with more frosting than cake. Way too sweet.

Have at it

Rich fruit cakes are best, chocolate worst.
