Either bought or made yourself or someone else made?
Mine was a random chocolate cake at a random diner during a road trip. I usually don't like choclate cake because I don't like dry/crumbly cake but this one was so moist and amazing. I feel like it's so hard to find desserts that are excellent these days! |

| That's very difficult to say because I am sort of a cake slut and there have been hundreds if not thousands of cakes over the years, each very wonderful in their own way. |

This is still the best cake imaginable when it comes to frosting (which it does-- cake is all about frosting!). I like it best on Devil's Food cake instead of the Red Velvet, but the classic Waldorf RV recipe is good too if you do it right.

| Mine is just simple yellow cake with chocolate frosting- better than any other cake in the world, I think. |

Mmm, wedding cake! Nothing like a classic white wedding cake with that white sugary frosting, IMO, though nowadays they're usually fancier with all kinds of flavoring...good, but I miss the traditional kind.
The best chocolate cake I ever had was at the Luna Grill in Shirlington, before it closed. But the best cake I've ever had was Medovník, a honey cake, in Prague. I could live on that stuff. I keep thinking I should try making it at home but it has like a million layers and I am just too lazy. |

| You can ask any Eastern European woman over the age of 50 to make you medovnik for you. Let her know You want prime quality ingredients, especially the honey. |

| It was a simple chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream frosting from Riviera Bakehouse in Irvington, NY. Both cake and frosting were scrumptious. I liked that they kept it simple and just did an outstanding job at the flavor of the cake. |

| Black Forest cake at a small diner in London. I have never had anything even close to it. |

| I love the blue, yellow and pink celebration cake at Harris teeter. It's almond flavored and has about 8000 calories. |

This is my favorite, too. I have a friend who is a baker who makes fancy cakes. None of them are as good as a cake from a mix, IMO. Box cakes have a moist light texture, while cakes made from scratch are often dry, crumbly, and never as moist as box cakes. |

| My grandmother used to make a cake with a topping of cornmeal and a little sugar. It was like a crackly layer. |
