1. White cake (with white frosting)
2. Yellow cake (with chocolate frosting)
3. Chocolate cake.

Note that not all white cakes are vanilla cakes. It depends on if any flavor has been added. Vanilla cake is white or yellow cake that is made with a discernible flavor of vanilla (preferably bean, but possibly extract).

This exactly. I'm from Massachusetts BTW.

No one with real taste would call the abomination that is carrot cake the best. Cream cheese frosting should be outlawed.

That is adorable. It feels like it should be a lemon flavored yellow cake for maximum sunny feelings. I think I'm gonna make one this weekend because all this talk about cake makes me want some.
