Do you like cake? What's your favorite kind? Any good recipes?!
Answers: I love chocolate fudge cake =)))
Yes! YUM!
I love cake. I love German Chocolate cake, Carrot Cake, Cheese Cake, Boston Cream Pie, White cake with a fruit filling or the one that Costco has -- which you can get with a cream cheese like filling. I like chocolate cake, but not with chocolate icing -- just too much chocolate. Pineapple upside down cake the way my mom used to make it; this one is simple.
Brown sugar and butter in a skillet stirred until the butter is melted, put the pineapple rings in the butter/sugar mixture/ put a maraschino cherry in the middle of the pineapple. You can add walnuts or crushed other nuts at this point as well. Then pour the cake batter (from a box) that you have prepared (white, yellow work best) all over the mixture; do this carefully so that the pineapples and cherries stay in place. Then bake it in the oven until it is done -- use the tooth pick method. When you get it out, you hopefully have a platter that is bigger than the skillet because you want to turn it over so that when you take the skillet off you have the gorgeous pineapple/cherry/nut topping. To die for.
I love coconut cake (receipe in source link)
3/4 pound (3 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more for greasing the pans
2 cups sugar
5 extra-large eggs, at room temperature
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoons pure almond extract
3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting the pans
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup milk
4 ounces sweetened shredded coconut
For the frosting:
1 pound cream cheese, at room temperature
1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
3/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon pure almond extract
1 pound confectioners' sugar, sifted
6 ounces sweetened shredded coconut
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 2 (9-inch) round cake pans, then line them parchment paper. Grease them again and dust lightly with flour.
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar on medium-high speed for 3 to 5 minutes, until light yellow and fluffy. Crack the eggs into a small bowl. With the mixer on medium speed, add the eggs 1 at a time, scraping down the bowl once during mixing. Add the vanilla and almond extracts and mix well. The mixture might look curdled; don't be concerned.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. With the mixer on low speed, alternately add the dry ingredients and the milk to the batter in 3 parts, beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Fold in the 4 ounces of coconut with a rubber spatula.
Pour the batter evenly into the 2 pans and smooth the top with a knife. Bake in the center of the oven for 45 to 55 minutes, until the tops are browned and a cake tester comes out clean. Cool on a baking rack for 30 minutes, then turn the cakes out onto a baking rack to finish cooling.
For the frosting, in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine the cream cheese, butter, vanilla and almond extract on low speed. Add the confectioners' sugar and mix until just smooth (don't whip!).
To assemble, place 1 layer on a flat serving plate, top side down, and spread with frosting. Place the second layer on top, top side up, and frost the top and sides. To decorate the cake, sprinkle the top with coconut and lightly press more coconut onto the sides. Serve at room temperature.

Strawberry jello poke cake - Make yellow or white cake mix and bake in 13" pan. Meanwhile, need one box of frozen strawberries w/juice, 1 pkg of strawberry jello and 1 container of cool whip. Poke holes in cake with large fork. Mix jello with 1 cup of hot water and 1 cup of cold water. Pour mixture slowly over the cake, reserving 1/2 cup of mixture. Mix thawed strawberries into the cool whip, ads reserved jello, enough to make the mixture creamy, not runny. Spread cool whip over cake and refrigerate a few hour or overnight.
