Fruit cake. Heavy, rich, preferably with cherries and maybe nuts (particularly pecans or walnuts). My husband makes a good fruit cake, he adds goji berries. Our almost 2 yr old grandson loves it, so it is now known as Felix cake. Took some down to my youngest son's house last weekend in celebration of my first granddaughter's birth....now we have to figure out a cake for each of the others.

My mom did not cook much, so we children always got a regular bakery birthday cake. After I married and started cooking/baking, I would make my Mom a Harvey Walbanger cake and she still asks for that today (she will be 99 in August). Since we only use the liquor to make the cake, and it does not take much, I had one bottle for at least 10 years (Galliano). But my DH likes an Italian Cream Cake. Really though, cakes are getting very expensive to make!

If I could have my pick, I'd have a plain dark chocolate with plain chocolate frosting.

if I got my pick it would be orange cake with orange frosting, or angelfood cake with orange icing.
after that, any cake is my favorite.

My older brother had a Boston Cream Pie as the top tier of his wedding cake.

I guess I like chocolate the best. However, after 63 years of cake, this year I told Jim I would rather have a blueberry pie.

My Mom always made me an angel food cake when I was growing up YUM
Now my husband gets one at a Japanese bakery. It's a white cake with whipped cream and strawberries. Very light and oh so good!
