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!

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.
