    Chocolate cake all the way! Like the really sickly big chocolate fudge cakes with heaps of icing :yum: And I quite like cookies and brownies and things as much as cake.

    Nice work on the cake in the picture btw :thumb:

    There are a few very good cakes.

    First exhibit is the cake I baked myself in 3 kitchen wrecking hours. It actually tasted super nice. I think it's the work I put in.

    second exhibit is the first cake in the making, in the middle is jam and marzipan.

    exhbit 2, STRAWBERRIES! I eat so little fruit, but I love strawberries. So here is a piece of my home-made (with help of my mum) strawberry cake.

    exhibit 4: Nothing really compares to an original Sachertorte made by the Hotel Sacher. they are piss expensive and a dream.

    exhibit 5: Mozart cake. with light chocci cream and green marizpan/pistaccio cream inside. It's delish.

    Ahh I forgot about Sachertorte. The family I stayed with in Austria showed me how to make one of those.

    Chocolate cake with rasberry jam in the middle
    Currant-Rasin cake

    My friend's mum makes a very nice white cake with strawberry cream-stuff and coconut, but I don't know if it has a name (other than "That layer cake with the strawberries and coconut":p ).

    Flourless chocolate cake, maybe with a bit of citrus-y flavour. I am also quite partial to a really dense carrot cake, like someone said, its all about the icing...

    Banana cake :)

    You can buy slices in Pret, which have a yoghurt topping.

    I don't know anywhere else you can get it, although Waitrose do a banana loaf.

    If I had an oven I would make banana and walnut cake every week.
