Here's mine.

Cheesecake.
Chocolate fudge cake.
Eccles cake.
Fruit cake.
Lemon cake (McVitie's in particular).
Madeira cake.
Mr. Kipling Manor House cake.
Swiss roll (Iceland's in particular).
Victoria sponge cake.
Yule log.

My partner makes a cake once or twice a week, so I don't usually have to buy any in the shop, which is great.

I love all cakes with sole exception of carrot cake. A particular favourite is Polish Air Force cake (Battenberg) and there's one I haven't seen for years, perhaps someone can help, it's what I called cauliflower cake. I don't know if there's a proper name but it's made from green marzipan leaves wih a white creamy stuff inside. Does anyone recognise that description?

The Dr Oetker 'mug' ones are much, much better. A well known name as well.

Thanks for the tip, next time I see one I'll get one to see what they're like.

Based on that video link, they do look very nice! :)

Victoria Sponge- God's finest creation! :D

Buttercream cupcakes.

Also any other cake with icing that doesn't include marzipan.

I forgot to give a special mention to cream doughnuts - artificial cream of course.

This might be controversial, but I argue that despite the name, Cheesecake is not really a cake in the true sense of the word.

(Retreats to a safe distance...).

I've heard they're not very nice, what did you think of them?

The clip Me123 postage is not the cake in a cup I was was talking about. It does look nasty. :lol:

It seems there another version which comes in a packet, I think its made by a German company:

http://www.oetker.co.uk/uk-en/our-p...ding/pud-in-a-mug-dessert-milk-chocolate.html

I have yet to try them but I hope to have some shortly. ;)

I posted a video of it on the previous page, they are actually quite nice.

The company in question is fairly well known for cakes and accessories in this country, they also do pretty nice 'Ristorante' pizzas. :)

It lasted such a short time, about three posts I think, that we're probably the only ones who remember it.

As Humphrey Bogart said to Ingrid Bergman in Casablanca, we'll always have Pringles (I think it was something like that, anyway).

Dr Oetker also do yoghurt.
