Pie ala mode or cake & ice cream? Which would you rather eat?!
Answers: My answer depends on what the reason for dessert is. If you have just served a heavy meal, then go with a light cake (like angel food) possibly with ice cream or a light sauce. If you have just finished a "traditional" meal of meat, potatoes, and veggie, a pie al a mode is good, too. What season is it? Fruit pies are really appreciated in and out of season. Cake, on the other hand, seems to be primarily a "winter" or celebratory dessert.
Cake .... or ice cream .... I like moist, rich chocolate layer cakes with fudgey frosting and that's enough all by itself...... But, I like ice cream too, and don't want to combine it with anything else....
For birthday parties, cake and ice cream. Pie Ala mode, for any other time.
pie a la mode
I like both. Pie ala mode (apple) is always a favorite in the fall. Devils food cake, vanilla frosting and some vanilla ice cream is also a favorite. Can eat that anytime.
Hot apple pie ala mode... yummmm!! YES!!
