My nigger. Tres leches is a top tier cake

I agree with you, OP. It was my birthday a few days ago and my relatives got me an ice cream cake but apologized because they said they didn't even know what kind they got (they didn't ask an employee). Free cake though, so I was happy. They asked what my favorite kind of cake was and I told them yellow or butter cake with chocolate frosting. They got really offended like I didn't even appreciate what they gave me because I said that. What the fuck is wrong with people?

for me it's the sachrtorte, the best dessert cake

I like a lot of coconut pecan frosting and a dense fudgy cake.

But more seriously, my favorite cake is underappreciated. I blame people who put a fuckton of carrot shreds on the top. Of course, maybe my dessert tastes are just off because I don't like very sweet things.

My nigga. Everytime I mention carrot cake people just look as if they think the whole fucking thing taste like one faint regular carrot. Truly underappreciated.

>>9254377
Carrot cake is great.

Meringue cake.
French meringue at the bottom with mixture of custard, whipped cream and italian meringue on top of it, crumble of french meringue as topping. Freeze the shit out of it and it's done. Picture has two layers but it's the same.

It's easily the best LOOKING recipe for carrot cake I've ever seen.

>>9254880

>>9254743
>smeared with BUTTER and crumbs

Did he actually butter the cake before eating it? I agree with >>9254773's question, just how fat is your dad? And does he have something wrong with his sense of taste if he can't tell cake and cornbread apart?

>>9254901
american "bread" is sweet like cake so i fully understand if they cant tell them apart

>>9254880
It's the reflection, anon. Plays hell with the perspective.

>>9254905
Cornbread is supposed to have maybe a teaspoon of sugar per batch.

>>9254905
Spoken like someone who hasn't eaten a bite of cornmeal. I know you think Yanks are stupid, but cornbread tastes NOTHING like a cake made with wheat flour, eggs, butter, sugar, and vanilla flavouring, all of which the former doesn't have.

>>9254920
Wrong, cornbread usually has half as much wheat flour as cornmeal, and usually has butter, eggs, and buttermilk.

I think a lot of people have never tried it. It's my favorite, or >>9254870

My grandpa used to take slices of regular cakes and put them in a glass/bowl of milk. He probably would've liked tres leches ;_;

>>9254925
That's northern cornbread, anon, and that STILL tastes and looks nowhere close to yellow cake. Anyone with a functional sense of taste would be alerted to the lack of corn, smoother texture, and heavy sweetness. Either>>9254743 's dad scarfed it down without a single breath, or there's something genuinely wrong with his tongue/olfactory system, the health implications of which are poor.

>>9254931
Seeing the joke and finding it funny aren't inclusive, especially when you're just plain wrong. And I'm not even a 'burger'.

this
last year on my birthday i ordered tiramisu, everyone gave me funny looks until they tried it
it has everything, its sweet and bitter and sour its the perfect dessert

>>9254836
I have never had it before to be honest. Looks good though.

>>9254377
My nigga. I've also made some amazing pumpkin sheet cake that was just as good.

>>9254954
While I certainly agree about anon's dad and the sheer ridiculousness of anyone mistaking cake for any style of cornbread, I was under the impression that the main difference between Southern and Northern cornbread is that yankees put a half cup of sugar and a bunch of whole corn kernels in it, whereas Southerners either do barely a teaspoon or omit sugar entirely, and don't put any whole kernels in at all.

At least, that's the way my North Carolinian mother always made it.

>>9255153
I'm from the Northwest, and any time I've seen cornbread, it's been kernel-free and low sugar. There's often honey on top, though, if it's meant to be eaten alone..

>>9255099
I propose pumpkin-carrot cake.

>>9256539
I put black pepper and a slice or two of bacon chopped into bits in mine. The secret is to leave the fat from the bacon in the skillet and pour the batter in while it's still hot so the outside crust has a fried texture. Savory cornbread > Sweet.

Come on

>>9258954
Unfortunately true today but it was originally supposed to be a buttermilk cake that is spiced with cocoa (so not really chocolate flavored but chocolate scented). Most places get it wrong by doing a white or chocolate cake that is colored with way too much food coloring to the point where you can taste it and it's disgusting.

>>9259094
Also no French Opera cake, or Hungarian Dobos Torte (Dobosh) which is the great-ancestor of modern cakes in the style of >>9254140 such as the Smith Island Cake of Maryland, Doberge cake of New Orleans LA, and the Little Layer Cake of the rural Southern United States.

what's difference between yellow cake and boston cream cake?

>>9258954
>literally just regular cake with food colouring
not really, it has vinegar and buttermilk in it. some recipes use beetroot to get the red color.

>>9258359

Fucks sake lads

>>9254120
That's not a Joffre cake

This was my attempt at a naked cake last summer.

Would like to attempt another one seeing as it's summer once again...just no time.

I tried to make a spongecake yesterday but seprating egg whites was harder than I thought and the whites didn't get whipped...

Anyway I'm going to try a different kind of cake today. I had wanted something light which is why I wanted to try a sponge cake but oh well, guess I'll just do a yellow cake.

>>9258954
Only if you get your recipie from allrecipies.

>>9260365
>seprating egg whites was harder than I thought

>>9254880

>>9254927
When u make a reference you don't include the thing you're referencing in ur post homeboi

>>9260891
Guess I'll try that next time.
I got the egg whites seperated this time perfectly with a little patience, but I think I messed up folding it into the batter because it didn't gain too significant an amount volume from it, but I was trying to make sure it it was thoroughly mixed with the batter.
Still the batter doesn't look bad at all guess I'll see how it it turns out when I take it out.

>>9260365
>seprating egg whites was harder than I thought

you can literally just break an egg on your palm with your fingers slightly ajar, and the yolk will stay on the fingers while the white runs through to a cup underneath

>>9260976
For an airy cake, whisk it really well, use an electric one.

That batter looks quite thick to me but I haven't made a sponge cake in over a decade, it's on my to-do list for the near future. I'll have to look through Youtube for a good recipe.

This one looks comfy >>9255203

Oh that isn't a sponge, it's a yellow cake. I just did that to make it a bit lighter.

>>9261186
Delicious, ty.

>>9254120
OK please don't hate me I am usually into actual gastronomy and food that is technically impressive as well as delicious but my favourite cake is really cheap shitty supermarket victoria sponge there's some flavour in it that I just love it must be one of the preservatives or something cos you only get this flavor from literally the lowest tier trashy supermarket sponge cakes

Not true cake. Neither are gateaux or tiramisu (its a type of trifle). tres leche technically starts as a cake but the addition of so much moisture and whipped cream starts to push it into trifle territory as well.

Good choice

Has gooey butter cake made its way out of St. Louis? I don't know.

Someone made one but the topping was chocolate instead of the regular. I don't like icing, so I fucking loved it.

>>9255203
Came here to post this.

>>9254120
I like Trinidad Black Cake, I rarely have it, but its always great. I actually didn't like it much as a kid, it really did grow on me through. It's made with a bunch of different fruits, try it out if you ever get the chance.

I hope you are right because I am making because of you but I used ganache instead of icing.
Hopefully my horrible cooking skill wont ruin the cake.

Cake mixes? From scratch? Made by others?

>>9268245>>9258189
>>9258255

BEST

>>9268762

I make mine from scratch, I dont use a cake mixer or electric whisks, I prefer the control I have manually, I can get the mixture just right, also it makes washing the equipment up way easier as theres no machinery with a million parts, just a bowl and spoon or whisk.

>>9254377
>I blame people who put a fuckton of carrot shreds on the top
I thought that you put shredded coconut with food dye, not actual carrots?
Wouldn't putting carrot on the frosting fuck it up?

Anyways, the first time my mom made carrot cake (I was maybe 7) I was so weirded out, but once I tasted it I was blown away
Truly one of the most underrated cakes

>>9254145
Objectively the best cake, it's got everything you want

Fucking. HNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGG

This thread takes the cake.

Maybe some people put coconut. That sounds a lot smarter, put I've seen the carrots plenty of times. Either is a no-go for me; allergic to coconut.

>>9268921
>it makes washing the equipment up way easier as theres no machinery with a million parts
do you think you need to disassemble an electric mixer and wash all its parts after use?

>>9254145

Fucking this. I love a good carrot cake. None of my friends like it, nor does my girlfriend, because they're triggered by carrots and raisins in cake. But every year my gf throws a birthday party for me, and always makes me whatever kind of cake I want.

And it's always carrot cake.

>ctrl+f
>no hummingbird cake
I only found out this existed last year. Asked my gf to make it for my birthday. She put a ton of work into it, and then the bottom of her cake carrier fell out while she was transporting it. We salvaged it and it still tasted amazing, though.

>>9270413
I live in sweden, and I've never seen anyone put shredded carrot cake on a carrot cake. Maybe it's a regional thing?
It doesn't really make that much of a difference though, it's delicious with or without the coconut
Maybe if you wanted some decoration you could get orange sprinkles?

Angle food cake. Home made.
Let me tell you a good recipe.
Take a couple of 16oz mason jars like pic related.
Fill that bitch to the top with egg whites(you won't waste the yolk i have a recipe for it too)
Whip them in a blender or by hand if your hard to soft peaks then add
>1-1/2 tsp cream of tar tar
>2tsp vanilla extract
>1/2tsp almond extract
blend until firm peaks
Then in another bowl take;
>2 cups flour
>3 cups sugar
>salt
and fold the whites and dry together. Pop in a NON preheated oven, set to 350 and let it bake for 55-60 minutes

Take the egg yolks and add milk and some vanilla extract and cinnamon. This can be stored for a week or two and used for french toast. Make sure you use thick texas toast.

>>9273187
>Pop in a NON preheated oven

Why do that? Wouldn't the cooking time be very inconsistent depending on how quickly your oven heated up?

>>9273190
It cooks better, trust me.

>>9273187
Oh yeah, do not grease the pan. Let it cool getting it out is kind of a bitch but its very much worth it Greasing the pan will fuck up your crust.

>>9273190
You can do in in a preheated oven, 325-350, but the important trick is to not use flour or grease or a non stick pan because the batter climbs up the sides while baking in order to be light and fluffy.

The pancake.
Maybe not a true cake, but multiple things in this thread aren't, so I'll just leave this here as the best of the greater cake family.
