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.
