The Kraken Posted March 24 Posted March 24 Key lime pie Raspberry and white chocolate cheesecake Strawberry pavlova Carrot cake, and coffee and walnut cake are lovely. Brownies epic too. But my top 3 is a lock.
Gloucester Saint Posted March 24 Posted March 24 (edited) Pre-lactose intolerance: - Sticky Toffee Pudding - Baked Alaska - Spotted Dick I can find lactose free versions of the latter as fine with eggs but the first two just don’t work lactose-free. I’ve tried with STP and it’s nowhere near what I used to make myself or enjoy eating out. There’s an amazing chocolate and orange jaffa-type cake that a garden centre over the Warwickshire border, Hillers (not Hilliers) does DF. I now make banana bread via the Hairy Bikers recipe which is a favourite. Honourable mentions to Battenberg and Frangipane. Edited March 24 by Gloucester Saint

Stripey McStripe Shirt Posted March 25 Posted March 25 Chocolate bread and butter pudding (Delia recipe, obviously). Swiss roll (cheap and cheerful available at any good Co-op). Honourable mention for the frozen version, Arctic roll, which is harder to come by. Crème brulé. Cos I'm middle class, innit.

With ice cream, clotted cream and double cream, and maybe custard I've only mentioned cakes, but any pudding top 3 will include a crumble. Apple or cherry. Not as many toppings as yours though, custard for me.

iansums Posted March 26 Posted March 26 (edited) Was in Cordoba today and went to a tiny bakery and bought a selection of different cakes. The owner kindly gave us a small cake made with olive oil and wine, absolutely bloody delicious and unlike anything I’ve tasted before, has to be my new number 1. Edited March 26 by iansums

Quite fancy seeing that part of Spain in reasonable weather. Imagine April probably perfect?

Visiting a Magic Cake Shop where you have the best cake ever is frankly taunting all the cake lovers on this thread. 🙂 2
iansums Posted March 26 Posted March 26 Apologies for the tease. I think they were called ‘Rosco Solera’. We’re staying in Seville, would certainly recommend visiting this time of year, weather is glorious but not too hot. 2
