Battenburg cake - the best cake ever?

[Fetchez la vache]

Well?

I love it, would take it to work with an assortment of other lovelies on my birthday and I'd basically have the whole thing to myself as no-one else wanted it.

Are they mad, or am I

Quite a lot of people don't seem to like it, personally I think they're mental

Battenburg, Coffee Cake and Chocolate Cake; the gods of the cake world.

ETA: Bugger, forgot about Ginger cake, there's so much choice

Battenburg?

Heresy!

Jamaican Ginger is the king of all cakes.

[Plotloss]

It is and if they dont like it, let them eat it!

Then they'll see.

they banned lardy cake! When? A whole nation grew up on lardy cake, how can they ban it? it's made from good things like fully saturated animal fat and fully calorific tate and lyle, and some currants too if remember correctly. Bastards.

I love marble cake, chocolate cake mix and normal cake mix, put together in the tin and then mixed together slightly so you get a nice marble effect. Then have melted chocolate and white chocolate and drizzle them over the top.

I now want to phone my Mum and ask her if she can make some for me and post it to me

Look at it for God sake, it's disgusting. German filth!

Ginger cake is the best cake in the world, although it's currently being rationed. If you see some in your local store, buy it all up immediately and stockpile it. You might not get another chance for a long time, the ginger harvest in Jamaica has failed this autumn. Apparently it's been too wet and humid and a fungal disease called gingivitus set in, thus decimating the crop.
