Hot Take: German Chocolate Cake Is The Best Cake (1 Viewer)

[Henry Ford]

Cheesecake is a custard.

I'll take a homemade Lemon Pound Cake or Red Velvet Cake over German Chocolate all day every day. 

Coconut sucks. 

I'm trying to imagine how empty my life would be if I considered lemon pound cake to be superior to German chocolate cake.  I'm assuming you have a weird roleplay fetish that involves a group of retired women having tea in your living room wearing white gloves and big hats.

You spelled red velvet with buttercream frosting wrong.

 

[Ditkaless Wonders]

People in Michigan, apparently.

Not from the Upper Peninsula I hope.  There is no accounting for those troglodytes over in the Mitten.

You spelled red velvet with buttercream frosting wrong.

Jesus Christ, you don't even like the right frosting on red velvet cake?

1. Good pie >>>> Good cake
   
2. Cheesecake is a pie
   
3. Coconut is nasty

1. Depends on my mood, but often, yes;

2. Obviously;

3. Don't feel too badly, 2/3 is a great average.

The makers of Mounds and Almond Joy would like to have a word with you.  Bring your playbook.

Nope that's the best.  My grandma made the best homemade butter cream frosting combined with red velvet was magical.  Way better than anything I had from any bakery.

Dang it Ford now I have a hankering for some cake.

On the subject of cheesecake I was at a graduation this past weekend.  It was determined that we would all go to the Cheesecake Factory after for a late lunch/early dinner.  We arrive at 3:30.  They had outdoor seating for maybe 100 folks.  Sitting out there were two 20-something males with man buns.  They were each wearing sandals with socks on.  There were no other persons on the veranda. They were sharing one slice of cheesecake between them.  Two guys, two forks, one cheesecake on Friday afternoon at 3:30.  I commented on them presuming them to be gay. My nieces maintained that this was not necessarily so, laughing that I would emphasize that it was Friday at 3:30 among other evaluative factors.  I maintained my position saying that no two heterosexual males in the history of heterosexuality have ever met to share a cheesecake at Friday afternoon at 3:30.  If you meet a buddy in the afternoon, playing hookie from work, you meet for beers and wings or beers and some ribs, you do not share a piece of cheesecake between the two of you. 

Now mind you I was fine with those two fellas enjoying their Friday afternoon as they saw fit. 

Was it this one?

When you have a German chocolate cake, you are correct.  Otherwise, I'm afraid you are not.

Free cake is also an acceptable answer.

One of the places where you do not get a mud hole stomped into you if you serve chili on spaghetti?  well they have no say in anything not coprophilia related.

 

[Chaka]

Can we all agree at least that Red Velvet isn't a thing?

 

[Henry Ford]

The makers of Mounds and Almond Joy would like to have a word with you.  Bring your playbook.

To say nothing of coconut cream pie, pina coladas, and samoas.

 

[Henry Ford]

Free cake is also an acceptable answer.

I am currently eating free German chocolate cake, and I feel conflicted about responding to this.

 

[Franknbeans]

Agreed on all fronts. 

Obviously sexuality can be fluid, and two men sharing a piece of cheesecake at 3:30 in the afternoon on a weekday are definitely sharing fluids.

the man buns should have given it away

oh and

pie > cake

 

[Ditkaless Wonders]

Was it this one? 

For gods sake I did not approach them my good man.  did you not read the part about man buns and socks with sandals?

 

[Chaka]

It's free and it's on your plate therefore it is the best cake.

 

[Henry Ford]

I wish things were this simple.

Jesus, man, have the decency to use an alias to say something this ridiculous.

i'm sorry dude,  you've obviously never tried this amazing creation from the hands of god.   besides germans don't even know cake, they know meat.   You selling meat cake?  I'm buying

 

[Ditkaless Wonders]

My people know pork, and of course starting World Wars.  Meat generally, well not so much.

German chocolate cake isn't named after the country, you Philistine.  

 

[Ditkaless Wonders]

I was born slightly after this amazing confection was created.  I like to think I was born specifically to consume this item, well that and to horrify women with my depraved appetites.

"German chocolate cake?  You're crazy! You've obviously never tasted sponge cake soaked in lemon-flavored horse hooves and pig snouts!"

Henry is absolutely correct about this.

I think he meant  Limoncello Cake.

I think he meant  Limoncello Cake.

If so, I may not stop laughing about that for a long time. And I'm glad I called him a Philistine later.

Wow. Caramel deLites are what they sell where I live. A behind-the-scenes look at the name (and the briefest interlude of recipe discussion) of the cookie.

Pound Cake FTW

I don't know who I'm saying this to, I assume everyone already knows this.

Thank you for finally sharing the truth with these heathens. Dirty, wrong-headed heathens.

You are a scholar and a gentleman, DW.

You forgot to add “other than german chocolate cake,” but you’re in the right zip code.

 

[northern exposure]

This is a very popular viewpoint among people who still believe in Santa Claus.

Doesn't everybody? What have you heard?

 

[Henry Ford]

Pound Cake FTW

For the women?  Fine.  Leave me my German chocolate.

 

[Foosball God]

Not from the Upper Peninsula I hope.  There is no accounting for those troglodytes over in the Mitten.

Women prefer the angel cake, me I love my baby's pound cake.

@Henry Ford FTR, I still hold you in very high regard, but you are absolutely wrong on this.  

 

[EYLive]

German Chocolate cake use to be my favorite. 2 years ago I discovered chocolate dobash and it's my new #1. I get it for my wife's birthday and I'm a hero.

Some of the SoCal guys here know of Porto's bakery. Their carrot cake is made with bits of pineapple instead of raisins and it's about 23,409,234,304 times better this way.

Crab Cake....Nuff said.

I also hold you in very high regard for someone who is from the mitten.

Use your anger, it will make you more powerful than you can imagine.  Mittener.

This your idea of torte reform?

You don't hear people singing about German Chocolate Cake.  Clearly Pound Cake is the best.

That's because their mouths are full of delicious cake.

They have to do instrumentals.
