Chocolate -- cake, frosting, and with chunks on top garnishing it!!! that sounds wonderful!!Chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. With chocolate chunks as garnish on top. I do say frosting and not icing.
Chocolate mousse, made with high quality imported dark chocolate!!! most excellent!!I'm not a cake person. Desserts really are not my thing but if I were to have dessert, it would be a chocolate mousse made with high quality imported dark chocolate. DD and I were talking about cake the other day and we agreed that we'd rather skip the cake altogether and just eat a bowl of cream cheese frosting with a spoon. I love cream cheese frosting.
Icing and frosting are not the same thing.
Frosting is usually used to coat the outside of cake. It has a buttercream-like texture and a more buttery taste. Icing is generally used to glaze pastries or cakes, and tastes more sugary than frosting. The Williams-Sonoma cookbook Cake states that “icing is generally thinner and glossier,” while its counterpart frosting is “a thick, fluffy mixture, used to coat the outside of a cake.”
your favorite is Black Forest Cake!!! really awesome!!Black forest cake, YUM!!!
Here ya go. This is the recipe he uses. I guess it's considered a bread, at least that's what the recipe calls it. He said you can replace the sultanas with other dried fruits which is what he did. It sounds like one of those recipes you can kinda put your own spin on depending what you like. The dried fruit gets gooey and the sugar and milk caramelize. Sorry for the metric measurements. He's from the UK.I've never heard of an orange cherry thunder cake. Do tell me more, please!
ahhh, carrot cake is your favorite -- no raisins , with coconut cake being your second favorite!!! awesome!!Just the opposite here. Coconut is my second favorite, carrot is first. But of course, with the caveat of no raisins.

yes, it could be that the universe was telling you to bake a cake......'righting itself' kind of thing. especially if you haven't baked one in a while!!I think the universe is telling me I need to bake a cake. This morning a friend tortured me by emailing me a photo of an orange cherry thunder cake that he made. ( Half eaten in the picture) and now this is the question of the day. LOL
Chocolate cherry cake has always been one of my favorites. A slice of cake cut in half with a layer of vanilla ice cream in between...maybe topped with a bit of extra cherry pie filling....yummy!
your favorite is a rich chocolate cake with semi-sweet chocolate cream cheese icing!!! very nice!!Rich chocolate cake with semi- sweet chocolate icing. There is a recipe in Joy of Cooking for devil's food cockaigne cake with a quarter pound of chocolate that I used to make. Problem was, the cake was so rich it was hard to get out of the pan! Now I read they recommend lining the bottom with parchment paper. I used a semi-sweet chocolate cream cheese icing from Joy of Cooking. Yum! Chocloate is soooo good!
you love chocolate cake with not-so-sweet frosting -- like from the store bakery, but otherwise don't care for cake!!! that's great!!It's funny that I do LOVE chocolate cake with not-so-sweet frosting like you get in the store bakery, but I do not care for cake otherwise. That is kind of strange to me. I even can perplex myself.
@Winchester , I think Cook's Country is awesome!
yes, cheesecake does count!Does cheesecake count? as I am a cheesecake lover!
Otherwise, I also really like angel food cake, and fairly flexible in terms of butter cakes, like chocolate. I also like cake with cinnamon or coffee cake.
Opera cake is also tasty!
although you're not really a cake person, you do enjoy chocolate cupcakes with cherries and filling in the middle for your birthday!!! most excellent!!I'm not really a cake person. For my birthday I usually ask my mother to make chocolate cupcakes cherries and filling in the middle.
ahhh, you like cheesecake!!! really very nice!!I like cheesecake even though technically it is a custard pie, not cake. I also love carrot cake and angel food cake.
Red Velvet Cake is your favorite, and you also love chocolate cake!!! that sounds great!!Red velvet cake without a doubt. I also love chocolate cake though.
you favorite was carrot cake, before your diet changed!!! awesome!!My favorite cake I would have to say is whichever one I am eating at the time. Honestly, since I started with gluten free eating, I don't really think about cake that much any more. I have had some gluten free cakes, but they are just not in the class with what I remember. Before my diet changed, I would have said carrot cake.
i would use an online converter, calculator, like this one to convert grams to cups -- grams to cups (g to c) and c to g (cups to gram) Online Conversion Calculator - Converter / Chart / Table or, this one to convert grams to ounces -- Grams to Ounces conversion in the recipe, the dried fruit amount of 1.5kg -- see right at the bottom of the recipe, the note that breaks down how much of each type of dried fruit the blogger used. if my addition is correct, she used a total of 1500g of dried fruit, which converts to 6 1/3 cups (exact amount is 6.34013 cups). i'm assuming it would be easier to convert to an amount in cups, rather than ounces.micknsnicks2mom Yes, I do love a good fruit cake. I have not tried a gluten free one as in the recipe you posted. I have made the gluten free refrigerator fruit cake with gluten free cookie crumbs or gluten free graham cracker crumb. The recipe you posted looks like it would be good. How does one measure grams? I guess it would have to be converted to ounces?
That's interesting because I don't think I've ever had a store bought angel food cake unless it was part of another recipe for a different type of cake. So yummy with some homemade whipped topping or some fresh strawberries YUMahhh, you like cheesecake!!! really very nice!!
and you love carrot cake and angel food cake too! i've never had a homemade angel food cake, only store bought. i think i'll try a homemade one, and see how that turns out!
