Hello my dear, what it's your favorite cake. Assuming you like cakes. Describe it to me.
Excellent aesthetic TM
Sorry for the delay in reply, yesterday a podfic event was closing so it was The Rush to finish followed by Too Tired To Think lmao
I think my favorite has always been Tres Leches Cake? Asked for it for most of my birthdays, she makes the cake itself with pancake mix, because why not, and then while it is hot you dump in a can of sweetened condensed milk and a can of evaporated milk and leave it (best overnight, because it has more time to soak up the flavor). And then once it's cooled down you take heavy cream and powdered sugar and whip up chantilly cream and (artfully) cover the whole cake.
So it's wet, I guess, and very sweet?
I also love chocolate cakes. All kinds? I have a great recipe for pecan chocolate cake, throw a ganache over it and ta-da. That one is less wet, but still moist? And has more cake texture because it's not as wet.
I do love cakes other people make, but my mom is great at baking so I'm also somewhat picky about it
Love Devil's Food cake? partially because of the name, partially because chocolate.
#I make a fantastic black forest cake#but I... don't actually like cherries that much? Usually make it for my mom's birthday#I make random pastry stuff for mother's day like choux buns or macarons#I am Not Allowed to make my sister's favorite cake#which is an orange cake with lemon meringue#but it's my grandma's recipe and that recipe is Evil even if it comes out Great when you get it right#ANYWAY#I like baking new cakes almost as much as I like eating them lmao#it's just fun to try new things? and if I'm baking them I can adjust as I go to make Extra Sure I will love them#and trying new cakes from places#though last time I did a Fancy Cake Place it was super disappointing because it tasted like... boxed vanilla cake?#and nothing wrong with that but I think it was supposed to be tea flavored or something#and the frosting tasted... Wrong? Fake? Kind of like whipped cream in a Sonic milkshake
