Do you prefer a slice of cake from a larger one or an individual item like a bun, scone or danish pastry?
Both sounds delicious although I do prefer bread over cake, especially savory buns rather than sweet ones.
Do you like sugary items such as doughnuts, gateau with cream, cupcakes or fruit cake?
I love sugary items. I don’t know what normal person wouldn’t love sugary items. I had to do an internet search on “gateau with cream,” it looks like a cake decorated with cream and fruit, kind of like the cake in the picture, is that right? Although I can’t eat much these days, I would love some of each.
Can you bake a cake?
I’m sure with a recipe, I can manage to get a cake made.
Care to share a favorite cake recipe?
I have a cook book dedicated to cakes on the bookshelf in my basement – The Cake Bible. It’s published in the late 80’s and it’s quite useful when it comes to cake baking. Unfortunately, because of certain limitations, I haven’t been able to try out the recipes yet.
My favorite cake has to be a banana cake I made last year. It’s a loaf cake and it was so moist and delicious. I followed a recipe from Good Housekeeping.


I love banana bread too.

Good housekeeping is a good recipe book. I used to have one long ago.

It might had been a book long ago but it’s a blog now.

Oh really! I don’t know why I didn’t think of that! Thanks. I don’t do cooking anymore, but my friends often lament having lost their copy.

Maybe it was a magazine some time ago. Who knows.

Thanks for joining in. That gateau looks awesome! I had a McDougall’s cook book and the recipes for carrot cake and gingerbread never failed. Sadly I’ve lost it and can’t get a replacement.
