Cake

[Dave the Explosive Newt]

We've not had one of these threads in ages, so it's really time to talk about cake.

Seriously, what the fuck is the deal with vegan cake? I've bought it a couple of times to complete my collection but it really does just taste like eating a bag of crumbs. I had it served with sorbet in a Vegitarian restaurant in London (London's like some big place where lots of peeps live - kind of like a massive St Andrews and that but with a train station and trains underground what angry peeps but bombs on because they're well naughty) but that was sort of like polishing a turd - you just get brown bits everywhere.

So, yeah, anyone have anything good to say for vegan cake?

On a complete aside, you;ll be glad to know there's a man at Wythenshawe after your own heart: Dr Pericaldi, Vascular doc.

Every morning, 10:30, the ward stops so everyone can enjoy a nice piece of cake, doctor's orders.

I feel he's your soulmate, shame he's married.

What a complete legend. Is there any type of cake he recommends for patients with buggered plumbing?

Cake is amazing. I can't believe I've never met you, Will. I feel like I know you through the magic of the Sinner.

[flarewearer]

how does one make cake without butter and cream and eggs and steak?

There is half a cake remaining in the fridge. But it is for the bin soon as it was not that nice. I don't know where it came from but if you want a chocolate cake then it should contain real chocolate.

Vegan cake sounds yucky.

I have a desire for hot chocolate fudge cake now. Thanks Will.

i didnt say i was consistant, just right!

Well at least he's not a cardiologist, otherwise that pun would have been truly terrible.

Vegan cake? Silly, silly people. What use is a cake without at least two pounds of steak in it? Come to think of it, black pudding cake might not be all that bad... maybe something to get my Great Aunt Isabella to make. Shame she's dead.

[hr]

...but then again, that is only my opinion.

Prune cake? Fig rolls?

Whoever said did Taste did good vegan cake, I agree! The chocolate squares are beyond yummy.

I've always thought vegan stuff can sometimes taste better; the use of ground almonds and soya milk and all that malarkey creating a denser, richer, sweeter result.

[Dave the Explosive Newt]

It's just so dry though - hmph. That said, I'm not saying you want a cake too gooey either - I once had a cake that had been made with margarine instead of butter (!) that wasn't too nice.

I've yet to find a good one but I'll give this Taste place a shot if it's as good as you say. My current passion is, however, banana cake - although dietary constraints have left my intake woeful (and one of my suits is now far too big).

CAKE OR DEATH!?!?!?

There's a fudgy one from Tesco's that I've got a bit of a thing for at the moment.

The problem is that one has to go into Taste to eat this cake. I've no problem witht the place as such, and while it doesn't have ny facility to pay with card (in this day and age, come on), most of the people that frequent it are the Guardian reading types.

Set your goals way too high so I can laugh when you fail.

I've not read anything quite so ridiculous in a long time.

Not as good as the Fisher and Donaldson version, I find. The lemony one from Tescos is my favorite of theirs. Oh, and returning to a previous point - there is a distinct lack of banana cake in St Andrews - I have to go to the Marks and Sparks in Dundee if I want some. Anyone had the luck to discover any?

Oh - and was it me, or did Terry Pratchett rather overuse the Death character? He was better in small doses but speech in all caps lost its zing after a very short period of time.

Yes indeed for those of us who are either allergic or intolerant to lactose eating well made cakes, i.e. those made out of butter, can be a potentially deadly or at least a painful experience. So vegan cake is all we have. Having said that, I mainly just settle with no cake.

I had chocolate and banana bread this evening. My mum made it. It was lovely. If you'd like some just pop round.

Weird. I'm pretty sure I saw you in there not so long ago.
On the other hand, I could have been mistaken.
