I can't pick one, but generally I prefer cakes without icing, such as fruit cakes, and ginger cake. Carrot cake is good to - it is iced but with a less sweet topping than something like a victoria sponge
Ah OK Caz, I've only ever had Victoria sponges with cream and jam or fresh strawberries and jam but I know some people use icing when it's going to be eaten over a few days. Too sweet for me with icing.
Coffee and Walnut - yum yum. A regular custard tart is a nice sunday treat with a cuppa but the Portuguese ones are rather good too.
OH made a very tasty lemon Madeira cake yesterday. A Nigella recipe apparently. A bit on the heavy side though - a whole slice is really too much. Anyone care to help us finish it off?
Someone bought me a book of Nigella recipes once but I gave it away after making a few items - everything was on the heavy side. Maybe that's why Nigella and her squeeze are on the heavy side!

eccles cake
at the risk of opening up the whole jaffa cake/biscuit debate.....
im also quite keen on scones.
Ginger cake.
I quite liked the buns on the young lady who was just ahead of me on the towpath yesterday.
A really good victoria sponge with home made jam and fresh strawberries on the top.
chocolate eclair / profiteroles/ elephant feet
Did you take a bite out of one Mutts?
I agree with Catalin, you can't beat a good, light as a feather Victoria Sponge.
Carrot Cake - de-flippin-licious

Proper Victoria Sponge shouldn't be iced Caz, just dusted with icing sugar.
There is icing in the middle though
Me too
