Mom's carrot cake.

I miss her.

>>13637242
I'm glad my parents are going to live forever and there is no reason for me to call them today

>>13637242
we'll meet them all again someday

>>13637242
Same

>>13637242
Wasn't ready for these feels

Pound cake.

love these things. not sure what they're called. you always find them in the french bakeries. they've got a layer of mousse usually and it doesn't taste fake or artificial or overly sweet.

>>13637549
could be an entremet?

>>13637239
Tres leches is amazing, especially if you switch out the sweetened condensed milk for cream of coconut.

>>13637658
does cream of coconut have a very coconut kind of flavor?

Did Kobe eat the rind? He didn't care he just raped all he knew.

>>13637614
it is, but it's got a specific name iirc. i usually enjoy everything in those french bakeries. i enjoy mousses and jams, and batters made with like almond paste.

I enjoy petits fours.

For me it's a Black forest gateu.

>>13637239
Does ice cream cake count?

If not, Italian cream cake.

>>13637239
My family always made tres leches for my b'day and at this point I can't eat them anymore because I've had too many

>>13637669
Yeah, it's sweetened with a pretty strong coconut taste. If you want a more mild flavor, go with regular coconut milk. Just don't substitute coconut milk for sweetened condensed milk.
Also take care not to confuse cream OF coconut with coconut cream, which is thicker coconut milk.

White sheet cake with white frosting
That's it
That's the cake
And don't you fucking dare give me a sheet cake with whipped cream instead of frosting because trust me I WILL GO INTO THAT STORE AND CUSS THE FUCK OUT OF WHOEVER IS RUNNING THE BAKERY
You don't fuck with a sheet cake

>>13637855
>shitty cake
>shittier frosting
It's good to be really low-maintenance, I guess.

Duffster is not related

>>13637549
french stuff is pretty good
prefer pastries though croissants and custard/cream

>>13637741
>black forest gateau
Le gateau est un mensonge!

>>13637964
Nice pagan symbolism, mason fuck.

>>13638107
Why are you speaking French and what are you saying

>>13638107
>ye olde meme, au francais.

>>13637855
basically this. i dont see why everything needs to be super complicated when faggots cant even make the frost correctly that overwhelms everything else about the cake like the texture and consistency of the cake breading itself.

>>13637741
it's a german cake hence you say Kuchen instead of gâteau

>>13637741
>>13638853
Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte

>>13638890
>Torte

Ricotta cake

coffee cake

for me, it's woolies mud cake

>>13637239
Angle food

>>13637248
This one hit a bit to close to home

>>13637242
>tfw my mom can't bake anything

we have something similar to tres leches cake that I like, it's called boterkoek (butter cake), it's very simple and you can add practically anything

>>13638853
>>13638890
I'm from Ireland and its called Black forest gateu here and is fairly popular.

For me, it's le castel.

german chocolate cake. extra moist

>>13637239
Empty calories you fat fucks.

>>13639288
If you eat it on the daily yes. For most people though cakes are only eaten on special social occasions such as birthdays and other celebrations where the cake is supposed to be shared between 6+ people and not eaten by yourself.

>>13637239
Anyone have a good recipe for this? I've been wanting to make one for a while

>>13637239
3 leches: God tier

For me it’s bologna and mayo cake.

Crostata (strawberries)

>>13637239
Mine is Tiramisù

>>13637549

Well, that and heart disease.

cake really isn't worth the calories, but baked cheesecakes are as good as it gets

>>13639413
put it on my weekend bake list
also, not a cake

>>13637239
I love Red Velvet.

>>13639896
this, absolutely

>>13639952
why do people like red-dyed chocolate cake

>>13640043
Traditionally it was made with a different kind of cocoa powder, usually Dutched. The acidity of the powder when they didn't have stabilizers would cause a change in color as it oxidized. A red velvet cake is just a chocolate cake using a non-alkalized cocoa powder and a thick, white frosting of some kind. I think it's kind of funny now that people will pay extra for a "specialty cake" that just has food dye, or beet juice in it. :P

i like it with cinnamon and strawberries

>>13637239
Homemade chocolate chip passionfruit cake with coffee buttercream.

>>13640043
It's all about the cream cheese frosting, it would be just as good on a regular chocolate cake

a nice angel food cake is really tasty- get some good whipped cream and some fresh berries and you got a great time

>>13639264
Holy shit, I made one yesterday for my nephew's birthday. Also one of my favourites.

>>13639264
>>13640745
putting the trimmed pieces on top of the cake as decoration is pretty clever

>>13637242
hang in there man

>>13639391
The hurgin!

>>13639281
This, with coconut caramel candied frosting

>>13638278
>>13637855
A girl at Shoppers told me why the grocery stores started making cakes with the whipped icing and it had nothing to do with it being slightly healthier for you. The reason they do it is because they can store it longer in the refrigerator or freezer and the icing won't start cracking. Real buttercream icing will lose its texture after like a week.

>>13640848
my mom always made it with that frosting inbetween the layers and homemade chocolate frosting on the outside. it's my favorite way to have it

I made a three layer white cake with one layer of strawberry jelly filling for our office Christmas party last year and proceeded to ruin it by leaving it in the fridge all night before I went in. I didn't like the way it turned out at all but when I took it home and let it sit on the counter for the rest of the evening it softened up and it was really, really good

coconut cake

>>13637239
Maybe I've never had a good one but every time I've tried a tres leches cake it was just cloyingly sweet and so strong of calcium my mouth tasted like I just had dental work done.

>>13637964
ok it's actually called napoleon

>>13639391

None. Cakes are shit.

Chinese Fruit Cream Cake

>>13639112
This, 100 percent

>tfw there was a chocolate thingies shop near me
>it had the best chocolate cake I've ever eaten in my life
>tfw they stopped making chocolate cakes and now make inatagram tier pastry for tourists

it hurts so bad bros, I will never forget that cake, it was melted chocolate cake, like the inside of a coulant

>tres
Amp it up to cuatro and I'll devour the entire thing. The caramel sauce completes it, with the smooth silky texture, and if you cooked it right it won't be excessive on the sweetness

>>13637242
stay strong king

>>13639264
what type of cake is this? I google and it just brings up random french shit.

>>13637242
Here's a funny picture, Anon. I hope you're ok

>>13637855
reddit-tier spacing and cadence

russian honey cake. grew up in a post-ussr country and loved this cake since i was a kid. Chef John recently posted a recipe, though he used a fuckton of layers there

>>13639121
>tfw mom's cakes are shit tier but I still eat them
it's been 25 years and I still can't tell her I don't like them

>>13637248

>>13637239
>plain dough drowned in condensed milk
what a piece of shit cake. if it didn't carry a spanish name, i'd easily assume that it's some 50's amerimutt abomination like jell-o salad with mayo.

I'm not allowed to ever eat like this again but the Italian bakery I loved has super moist pumpkin cake with huge pillowy mounds of mascarpone- all especially nice because they never made their desserts too cloying.

>>13644288
Kek...especially if you consider that the fresh milk of the "tres leches" could easily be omitted without making any difference whatsoever in the final result. Literally a meme recipe.

>>13637239
Cheesecake, but the german kind, not the american fatty one.

>>13643922
Hazelnut and Almond cake with a very soft biscuit thanks to the lake of yolks and butter but a good amount of egg white.
It's also called "gâteau russe".

>>13644288

>>13644604
The only cakes you fags have are gummy, flavorless balls of glutinous rice.

>>13644651
better than a twinkie dunked in canned milk

Schwarzwälder Kirsch, without a doubt.

Lübecker Marzipantorte is also amazing.

I love frangipane: its almond flour mixed with butter, sugar and a couple of eggs. Cakes are built with a shortpaste crust, a thin layer of raspberry or apricot marmelade to the bottom, a layer of wet bisquit and the rest filled with the frangipane. Stuff on top is put to taste, dry fruits taste great with it.

>>13639121
My mom is a retarded good baker.

Pity she's a fairly lousy cook.

>>13637239
had vanilla tres leches cake from the chinatowny grocery store, maybe for the first time? blew my shit up I couldn't remember the last time I had something so flavorful

>>13644728

A quintessential lie? You can't even say that because there's no way to prove that heaven or an afterlife exists or doesn't exist. It's the same thing with God.

Italian cream cake.

>>13643213
I'm baking a cheesecake tomorrow, what variant should I do? I was thinking about doing an Italian Ricotta

>>13644604
Go die from coronavirus you retarded gook

>>13651083
The last cheesecake I made was a combination carrot cake + cheesecake. It actually turned out really well, if you want the recipe.

>>13637239
i hate that fucking cake

>>13651598
Not him, but I'll take it. I was eating a slice of carrotcake with cream cheese frosting the other day and could help but think it would have been better had the whole thing been a cheesecake.

>>13637239
Brazilian bakery next town over makes a wide array of the most amazing cakes ever.

>>13644728

Sorry for the late reply, here it is.

2 (8 oz) pkg cream cheese, softened well (but not melted)
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 tsp all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup sour cream

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp allspice
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 cup canola oil
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar
1/2 cup coconut
1/2 cup pecans or walnuts
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/3 cups finely grated carrots

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9-inch springform pan and set aside. In a mixing bowl, whisk together sugar and 1 1/2 tsp flour until well combined. Add cream cheese and using an electric hand mixer set on low speed, blend together cream cheese and granulated sugar mixture until smooth. Mix in eggs one at a time, mixing lightly just until combined after each addition and adding in vanilla with second egg. Blend in sour cream. Forcefully tap bowl against countertop about 30 times to release air bubbles.

>>13655012
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together dry ingredients for 30 seconds. To a separate large mixing bowl, add canola oil, applesauce, sugars, eggs and vanilla extract and blend mixture using electric hand mixer set on low speed for 1 minute. With mixer running on low speed, slowly add in dry ingredients and mix until well blended. Add carrots and mix until evenly distributed. Tap bowl forcefully against counter, about 3 times, just to release large air pockets.

Pour 1 1/2 cups carrot cake mixture into buttered springform pan and spread into an even layer. Dollop about 1/3 of the cream cheese mixture by the spoonfuls over carrot cake layer (don't spread or swirl). Spoon remaining carrot cake mixture over cream cheese layer, then finish by drizzling by the remaining cheesecake mixture over carrot cake layer, working to cover all of the carrot cake mixture (I found this easiest to do this was by slowly drizzling over with the spoon). Bake in preheated oven 60 - 65 minutes, until center portion only jiggles slightly and tenting with aluminum foil at 35 minutes to prevent excessive browning (tent in a way that the foil doesn't touch cheesecake or it will stick). Remove from oven and allow to cool on a wire rack 1 hour, then cover with foil and chill in refrigerator 6 hours or overnight.

Also, you can omit the coconut if you want, I always add some shredded coconut to carrot cake cause that's how my mom makes it. You can just use 3/4 cup oil instead of adding the 1/4 cup applesauce if you don't have applesauce around.

It can however be definitively said that people only thought up the idea because they want it to be true, not because it was ever shown to be the case. That makes it a lie, whether or not it happens to be what really happens.

Sounds like a giant piece of marzipan.

semolina-quark cake (fridge cooled)

yellowcake uranium, so i can make dirty bombs

>>13637741
It's pretty hard to get them right, though. Most of the time buttercream is used because if you use cream, it has to be eaten pretty much immediately but tastes much better.

>>13642932

I don't know why it tastes so good.

Zingerman's mail order. it's one of their top sellers

>>13640043
What I was learned was that in rationing times, sugar beet juice was used to partially replace white sugar in cake mixin, giving it the reddish color

For me, it's carrot cake after scraping off half the icing. Holy moly, people need to stop putting so much icing on cake.

I need to bump this gorgeous thread.
Have a Baba au rhum guys

>>13663762
incorrect red velvet cake got it's color from a chemical reaction from non-Dutched, anthocyanin-rich cocoa.
