Pineapple Upside-Down Cake.  1SO, we cannot be friends.  Why do you hate deliciousness?

Coconut at the bottom for me, I really don't like coconut in general.

In this order if they are prepared properly...

Black Forest Cake - I've had ho-hum BFCs, and that's because they don't use Kirschwasswer. From Wikipedia... German statutory interpretation states Kirschwasser as a mandatory ingredient, otherwise the cake is legally not allowed to be marketed as Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte. True Black Forest cakes are decorated with black cherries. When those Black Cherries are Kirschwasser soaked, the cake is an oral orgasm.

Carrot Cake - Two things make for an extremely delicious Carrot Cake. One, a good sour cream and cream cheese frosting and a cake batter that retains a decent amount of moisture. Too dry and it's like eating a cake made with sawdust.

Pineapple Upside Down cake - Sorry Chuck, you've obviously had some from someone who doesn't know how to bake. Once again, moisture is the key.

Masterpiece (100-91) | Classic (90-80) | Entertaining (79-69) | Mediocre (68-58) | Cinemuck (57-21) | Crap (20-0)

I love to read about your passion for food, Antares! I'm afraid I've only eaten unofficial Black Forest Cake, so I've only gotten to first base. Yummy first base though.

Molten lava cake-- because the only thing better than chocolate cake is a cake with more chocolate
Chocolate Cake-- especially if it is topped with a chocolate ganache 
Cheesecake (especially if it's Godiva Chocolate cheesecake)


Mrs. oldkid's favorite cake is pound cake... if she makes it herself.  No frozen pound cake for her.

I have to agree with Antares, carrot cake and pineapple upside down cake are wonderful if they are good and moist.

I don't like pineapple. I don't know if there's any fruit I like less than pinapple.

Cheesecake wins for containing 0% cake, cake being pretty nasty, generally.
