The best cake you have ever tasted?

[Anonymous]

I can't pick the best cake ever.

But I recently had a Wegmans cake with real strawberry filling at a kid's bday party and really liked it. I want to get that for the next party I throw.

Oh, that takes me back to Russia, where I had a friend whose mom was the worst cook. Worst cook ever. She would just pour grease on everything ... like that made it taste better. (And I like Russian food, so I'm not slamming the cuisine -- she was just awful.) One day she made a cake. And it was the most incredible, flavorful, moist cake ever. I ate like half the cake and she declared that I must only eat sweets. So she then made it whenever I came over. I wish I had asked her for the recipe! It was like a yellow cake, but really delicious -- moist and almost creamy.

I love this too!

Me too. All are beautiful and yummy.

Junction Bakery in Del Ray makes delicious cakes. I shared a slice of their chocolate hazelnut cake today. Yum. However, the best I ever had was their special flavor from a cherry contest in Alexandria for George Washington's Birthday. It was a dark chocolate cake with morello cherries, cherry curd, and earl grey buttercream. I hope someday they'll bring it back-I'll continue to lobby for it. Here's a picture from when they had it. Yum, the cake of my dreams. https://www.instagram.com/p/BQAqmCQjG6a/?taken-by=junctionbakery

Ha, that's kind of like my mom. Not a great cook, puts her foot in her mouth sometimes, but bakes the-world's-best pies. She's pretty much Amelia Bedelia. we love her.

I wish I knew how to put an image and not just a link on. Most tortes from Austro-Hungarian Empire countries will beat any US, English cake. One of my favorites is the one my grandma made for celebration, it is a walnut cake with butter, very decadent, similar to the other cake somebody posted from Eastern Europe, but softer and less layered.
Here, I like something really simple and that is Angel Food Cake from Safeway, not by slice, the whole round cake. I could eat the whole thing in 20 minutes.

In Siesta Key there is a German bakery that makes liquor cake- insanely moist and dense with the equivalent of 2 shots of vodka per slice. The key lime coconut vodka cake was amazing.

The prettier they are the worse they taste. This is fact.

Costco used to have a carrot cake that was to die for. $16.99 (or something close to that) for an enormous cake! I rarely bought it though because I REALLY don't need to eat that much cake all by myself and if I'm having a party, I probably serve something more neutral, like chocolate or white cake. They stopped making it a few years ago and I haven't found anything to compare. But man, at least twice a week I am craving that cake!
