> Is Devil's Food your favourite cake flavour? I really really love white cake. Frosted, iced, plain, I love it. Actually, I can't think of a cake I would ever turn away.
Devil's Food is actually my third favorite cake flavor. For my own cupcakes (vs. ones I bring to work for others), I like to make chocolate chip with chocolate frosting. For a full-size cake, I prefer the Red Velvet flavor I once had when I was in Atlanta. Is this a Southern thing? I'm not sure. The fact that it isn't a real flavor also disturbs me (see my "fluffy white" frosting diatribe). But it was the yummiest cake I ever ate. Do you (or does anyone) know if this cake is supposed to be made with cream cheese frosting, vanilla, butter cream, or "fluffy white"? I think it might be cream cheese, but I just can't remember.
> Cupcakes or full-size cakes, it's all good. As for the cupcake liners, my smarter older sister who bakes way more than I told me the paper liners are only there to separate the tin liners. Doesn't that seem excessive?It is quite excessive. I wouldn't see a problem with separating the foil liners without the paper, but maybe the quality assurance people at the foil liner companies know better.
I think I prefer cupcakes to full-size cake most of the time. For me, it seems to be the perfect ratio of frosting to cake. Then again, sometimes I like to eat a piece of cake and leave the frosting. I'm not always in the mood for frosting.
I think I'm obsessing about cake...
