Birthday Cake -
Do you have a favorite or traditional kind of cake for your birthday? (or any other event?)
For me, it is a plain white angel food cake. My Mom or Grandma would make one for me from fresh eggs - of course, there were egg yolks left over - but I don't remember what they did with them.
The next best cake that my Mom would (rarely) make was poppy seed cake - with a custard filling and fluffy white (cooked) frosting.
Rhubarb cake is a current favorite - but it is not a "special event" cake.

I didn't like cake as a kid so my great aunt always made me lemon meringue pie for my birthday. When my kids came along and I started making birthday cakes for them I realized I didn't like cake because mom managed to make cakes as dry and tasteless the dessert Now my favorite cake is Boston Cream Pie.

My B'day was Sunday too! But I must say I have had lots of cake. My favorite is a mint chocolate chip. But my family likes hummingbird cake which I make at Thanksgiving.

For my birthday in July, I always make a cheesecake with fresh blackberries on top. Everyone else, (10 family members) orders a choc depression cake from me made with 100% whole wheat (bran and germ included). Must be made one or two days in advance so the bran can absorb moisture, and the cake turns out as moist as brownies.
